Probably.

Wvdialconf scans all devices and tries to detect a modem.
For that reason it writes normal modem commands to the device.
So when scanning the ir port in my case, it should not detect a 
modem, because there is none. 

I just like to report the bug that the machine bombs with the
2.2.15pre19 kernel when wvdial writes the nonsense to the IR port.  
A machine should never bomb.

My ppp runs fine with the configured modemport, apart from a couple
of occasion where I could only use it once.

I guess the next step of debuggin would be to try to use the IR for
something useful.
