I was brainstorming today and thought up the idea of "sharing" the GPS unit I installed in my car with my Pocket PC, using the Empeg's IrDA port. The advantage of this would be I could use some of the nicer programs that are available for the Pocket PC with the GPS I have installed in my car. I also wouldn't have to fuss with or buy stupid non-standard serial cables to connect the GPS directly to my Pocket pc.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong:
This seems like it should be a simple since, to Linux, and the pocket pc the IrDA ports are just standard serial ports. So I just need a daemon in the empeg to dump everything coming across the sled serial port to it's IrDA port right? The more I read about IrDA on linux though the more I get confused. Is this really as simple as getting IrDA setup on the empeg and then writing a program to read /dev/ssttyXX and write /dev/ssttyYY?
