Wow, I actually got it to work.  I used my USB to Serial converter and got
it to come up on ttyUSB0 according to dmesg.

I then set the baud rate with:
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Now i can send cmd'd to the PJ with:
echo "* 0 IR 008\r" > /dev/ttyUSB0

That will bring up the menu!  I tried this two years ago and couldnt get
it.  Man, only took 20 mins this time!

Now, i just need to map this to a button/script.

Thanks,
