To enable IrDA communications on an HP OmniBook 5000:

1. Copy the two files in the IRMON directory to C:\IRMON

2. Copy the four drivers in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

3. Add the following lines to the end of the [386Enh] section
   of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI


; for IrDA
device=irlapfrm.386
device=irlamp.386
device=ircomm.386
device=obserial.386

; for IrDA
[ircomm]
AppIRLPT=3
AppIRCOM=4


4. Restart Windows.

5. To start up the IrDA protocol stack, run the IrMonitor program
   (IRMON31.EXE):

   Run the OmniBook Tools program and click the Connections button
   or use the Run... command from the File menu of Program Manager.

6. When IrMonitor is running, LPT3 can be used as a "virtual" LPT
   port and COM4 can be used as a "virtual" COM port.  You may use
   these "virtual" ports just as you would use real, physical ports.
