Again, I think I may have confused the wording here :-) The setups that I=
 have=20
seen in most Datasheets so far have some sort of IrDA chip (MCP2120 for=20
example) which goes to the TX and RX lines of an IrDA Transceiver. So far=
 I=20
haven't seen anything that combines the Chip and Transceiver in one (Alth=
ough=20
it would be nice)... so I was thinking if I could just add LED's from the=
 TX=20
line of the chip. Does this make any more sense?
