>From my understanding a usb->com adapter won't work for this.  I saw on
the list archives where people have gotten the Actisys 200L to work but
it has a horrible range of 100cm.  The Actisys 220LN increases the range
to 300cm which would work if I push my couch closer :)  Anyone know if
the 220LN works with lirc/myth?

If it's got USB which most things these days do, just buy a USB to
serial converter.  It's a serial port connected by USB (universal SERIAL
bus) and costs around $30 where I live.
