How can I access my IR Port from Windows 3.1?


I have Win 3.1 with 20 something MB RAM and a two gig or so HD with DOS Version 6.22.

A lot of prayer, I suspect!  Do you have any IR drivers for Win 3.1?
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

Nope. I was told by Yahoo Answers that Win 3.1 could not handle it, and was told the same thing by Gateway. I could try anyways, but I think I need separate software to do so, and I don't know what to search for.
