Would the link work if the data was already converted to RS-232?  If so
we could use a graphlink with it instead.  It would cost more but if you
really wanted ir communication.  And if it did need a Graphlink or it
does somehow convert the TTL to RS-232 then we could create a ir port
for the computer.  We could transfer files to the calcs from a
distance.  Why we would want to do this I'll leave up to someone else
:).
