<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) Serial IR receiver- build it yourself
or buy one ready made (quite an easy thing to build if you can use a soldering
iron).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) Microsoft MCE remote control and
USB receiver- pretty easy to set up, works OK once you put the "responsiveness
patch" onto the mceusb2 driver.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3) Buy an IR keyboard with USB IR receiver
dongle, and train a remote control to emit signals that emulate keypresses.
Search the web for JP1 remote controls, there are downloadable protocols
that have keyboard codes (PC to One-for-all JP1 remote control transfer
requires build/buy a serial or parallel or USB "JP1 cable").</font>
