From the developer:
After the installation a new COM port will be available on your system. You can open it with any program which normally requires a wired serial link to other devices.
Microsoft's IrDA is still available when the virtual COM port is closed. When an application opens it, the IR symbol in the task bar will disappear and the infrared link will be established using the Linux-IrDA protocol implementation.
