You can't acces both the IR port and the built-in serial port at the same
time.  There's some wacko thing in the hardware that precludes this (don't
ask me why, I just write the software :-).  As you surmise, an error is
returned if you try to open one when the other is in use.

As a PCMCIA based serial device is a different piece of hardware, you can
have it open while one of the built-in serial devices is in use.

Hope this helps,
