[Cialug] 'nother question

[Don Cady]

Twas moi. I'm wondering if MS or Titan's upstream data provider is
different, possibly better, than schedules directs'. It'll be

Thanks Justin.
Re Lirc; Is the serial port set for Irda mode in BIOS? Usually you can
only set it one way or the other. From what you've given, it appears
like the serial driver has already started using 0x0310 before Lirc
starts.
