[Ham-Computers] infrared port

[Woody]

Hi Don:

The IR port on an IBM ThinkPad is normally used for communications to a printer.  There are probably other devices that work with the IR port, but I have not seen them.  My HP LaserJet 5P has an IR port that works very well with my ThinkPad.  

73,

  a infrared port, however as ones knows usually when you buy off ebay you get no manual
  so the question is what is the port for
