IBM Laptop IR port

I'm new here.  I got RIS 1.0 for Christmas completely by surprise.

I want to know if I can use my IBM Thinkpad 380D IR port to communicate
with the RCX.  I am using the serial port with a graphics tablet and
would prefer not to lug around an unnecessary cables or IR transmitters
since I travel occasionally.

How do I set up my software and hardware to use the built-in IR port (if
possible)?  Would it work to use my parallel port instead?

Thanks and Happy Holidays everyone.

Eric Lund
