Hi Mary Ellen, Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of two other uses for the infrared port. One is to connect the BN directly to a printer or embosser equipped with an infrared port, so you can simply execute the command to Emboss or Print a certain thing, and it would be done right away without the hassles of transferring the material to a PC and then printing. Another use I can think of is to use it to go on the Internet with the BN and a cell phone. If a cell phone has an infrared port, you can use that port vthe one on the BN to establish a connection between the two, and then use KeyMail and KeyWeb with this instead of a network or dial-up connection when it's convenient for you. HTH. Maria
