Any of the X10 RF remotes will work with LIRC--i.e. the ATI Remote 
Wonder (or RW II), the X10 Lola, etc.  Now, whether you'll be able make 
it work better than IR is another matter...

I have an ATI RW, but I still drilled a hole through the wall between 
the room with the Myth box (and other assorted A/V gear) and the room 
with the TV/speakers.  My RW works pretty well, but it doesn't do too 
well through walls or over long distances.

The only reason I'm using it is because I had one sitting around and it 
has a lot of buttons.  I'm considering getting a Logitech Harmony (IR) 
remote instead...
