Hi all,

First time poster, I'm a bit nervous!

I'm looking for IR advice, specifically I'm intending to replace my two
Prontos with a Heath Robinson ePods, Windows 2000+ Terminal Server,
Wireless

LAN solution which I'll probably not have time to build!

My Pronto replaces about 15 remotes, and I've ruled out using my Homevision
to do the IR.  I've seen a lot of PC->IR solutions that use the Parallel
port, but I'd prefer to use Serial (or something else that'll travel long
distance), as I can't use PowerMid pyramids to relay the signal (long story
involving controlling my neighbours TV!)

Anyone have any hardware and or software advice or testimonials?  NB I was
planning on using the PC to send the IR, not the ePods.

Thanks,
- Phil
