AirShare
The AirShare modules are about the size of a pack of cigs. One is AC powered
and attaches to the serial port of the fixed-device (like a desktop PC, or for
me, a modem). The other can either be powered by an AC adapter, a little 9V
battery, or if your mobile device supports it, a PS/2 mouse-port. It also
attaches to the serial port. You can select one of three different
communication channels (for up to three machines you wish to talk to). It
uses frequencies up in the 900MHz range, supports up to 115K bps, and
distances of up to about 30ft.
A 27 page Acrobat datasheet is available at:
http://www.natsemi.com
in the "Communications, Wireless" directory.
Contact support@tevm2.nsc.com for any questions about the modules.
They are sold in sets by Traveling Software. The set contains two
modules, a battery pack, PS/2 mouse/kbd 'piggy back' power adapter and
an AC adapter.
If interested, contact Traveling Software (the Lap-Link people):

Infrared Data Association
Last year, a consortium of industry leaders, the Infra Red Data
Association, agreed on a standard for infrared data transmission,
Protocol 1.0. This low power standard transmits data at speeds up to
115.2-Kbps within a three-meter range. To implement the protocol, IrDA
estimates it will only cost $2 to $4 per unit.
