Good. That gets you frame level attachement to the tty device. Now you can 
run ppp or slip on it.

I think all you need to do at the point where your IRDA framing driver is 
attached to the TTY is to fire up slip or ppp. I'd recommend PPP since 
it's more flexible, supports compression, etc.. However, there isn't any 
reason you couldn't use slip, too. something like this:

server:
pppd 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 ttyname /dev/tty524288

client:
pppd noipdefault ttyname /dev/tty524289

That should give you a ppp0 on both sides.
