What exactly are you trying to do with the IR stuff?

If you are trying to convert RS-232 into IR, I believe there are some ir
controllers that can be used to drive an IR transceiver module (I have had
luck with HPs transceiver, as well as Infineon, and Vishay Telefunken (for
an ultra low power version))

I had something like this:

PC -> RS-232 -> MAX-232 -> PIC -> IR transceiver

If you are looking for basic level RS-232, convert full bit-period
"marks" to ~1.6 uSec pulses.

Incoming bits will also be short pulses instead of full bit periods.

I used this pulse to trigger a latch, which I then polled with the
pic.  Pic resets the latch once it reads a bit.

You could also have the pulse trigger an external interrupt on pin change,
and get rid of the external latch hardware.

This of course doesn't implement any of the link access mechanisims needed
for more complicated "IRDA compliant" communications.  It worked for my
very limited application, though.
