It'll probably have to be custom-designed based on the modulation  
technique the remote is using.

These can be pretty simple, or they can be complex, depending.   
Ideally you'd use the same chip the remote does and just control it  
with the computer, but that may not be practical.

I cracked open an X10 FireCracker RF transmitter dongle once and was  
amazed at how few components there were inside.
