Not done it myself, but what about a Bluetooth enabled IPaq or Palm
and a GPRS mobile with Bluetooth? By using bluetooth you avoid all the
line of sight problems with IR, and it gives you bragging rights. :)

When I get the cash together, that's how I plan to do it (got an
Ericsson T39m at the mo, which completes the mobile phone half of the
equation, but can I justify a palm pilot or an ipaq?)

Cheers,

Simon
