        I presume a Windows system.

        Under the Control Panel you should find a tool for "Infrared"; open 
it, pick the "Options" tab.

        My laptop shows: enable infrared communication on /COM2/ (drop-down) 
followed by: Providing application support on COM4 and LPT3

        I believe this indicates that I would use COM4 in a program, the OS 
takes the COM4 data and handles the conversion to Infrared protocol 
with the IR port being a physical COM2 for interrupt purposes.
