Yes. Just saw those cables. There is a cable for the 33*0 series and one
for 8310/6510. The first for 15 EUR and the latter for 25 EUR.

I don't think so actually. I have tried hard to find such a solution,
but didn't really find one. There was one which enabled a dummy serial
port which I then tried to use with vmware. Didn't really work
though. Perhaps with wine.. don't know. But it is surely not as easy as
with serial communication. Windows totally blocks the serial port which
is used for IrDA communication.
