the IR tower and the Palmpilot cradle connected to COM1 thru a switchbox). I
plan on removing this software and seeing if that helps.

Do any of you other guys having trouble with the IR tower have the PalmPilot or
any other software that may mess with the serial ports?


On my PC, I have to disable the Palm Pilot Hot Sync Task Bar item, otherwise it is
impossible to talk to the IR tower.  Fortunately, it's easy to do. Just click on the
Hot Sync icon on the task bar and pick exit.  Then the IR tower communication should
work fine.
