external adapters

[V J]

Hello,

What are the options of connecting a 5mx to a network (i.e. in a hotelroom) ?

I know Clarinetsys makes ird to networkadapters, but are there others?
For instance, it would seem interesting if the network adapter supports different standards (irda, bluetooth, perhaps even 802.11, ...).

Are there such devices ?

Have a look at Compex iRE201 Wireless Infrared Access Point.

Yes, that looks a lot like those Clarinet things...

Still, I wonder if there are devices that support both IRDA and bluetooth...?

Alternatively, would this be possible:

1. use bluetooth to LAN access point
2. set up a mobile (e.g. Nokia 6260) with a bluetooth connection to the access point
3. set up an ir connection between Psion and mobile

Would this provide internet access on the Psion ?
(I'm not sure if step 2 is possible, it will depend on the bluetooth profiles)
