Ok. Is this downloadable from Polar.com?

Can you map the IRDA device to a com port in Wine?
>Links to polarsites and update is still not working.
In other words, you cannot update Polar Trainer from within Wine, correct?
>Therefore it is still not possible to run PolarProTrainer5 in Wine.
First thing is that the IRDA interface needs to be functional as a serial device
or this will NOT work in Wine. If the device requires a 'special'
driver then it will not work in Wine, possibly never. However, when I used an
IBM Thinkpad and it had an IRDA device, I was able to map it to a Com port (5)
and use it to transfer files to/from another Thinkpad. This was a LONG time
ago. I don't think that my Mac has that capability but I can check.
I am under the impression on my Mac I have to buy a USB <-> IRDA adaptor
in order to use this function. For my Polar CS200CAD I have to use a microphone
and be in a very quiet area. Linux is NOT supported for this type of
Cyclometer, but I've read reports where folks have made it work in Wine.
