that would have been me, my linux-running Vaio, and Peter Norton's
Nokia.
the thing is to get irda all set up.
minicom /dev/ircomm0
does the rest. The nokia (and all other phones, presumably) presents a
regular hayes AT over the ircomm device. Then exit minicom without
resetting the modem using ctrl-a,q and quickly start pppd /dev/ircomm0.
it is, of course, possible to do this all in a ppp config file, but that
is another breidge to cross...
