Could you butcher the pronto so that the ir output connections are fed
directly into an IR distribution system?

So instead of going

Pronto motherboard ---> Pronto IR blaster ----> xantech IR
reciever
-----> xantech splitter ------> xantech emitter----> PC

You could go 

Pronto motherboard  -----> xantech splitter ------> xantech
emitter---->
PC

Just a thought

PS have you thought of a PALM (Handspring?)

Just checked out those Cybiko things.. look interesting but
no touchscreen :(

The PPC idea is fine but again falls down on cost.. remember I'm
needing
(in theory, but probably not practice) 15 of these. The browser support
is good since the control screens could then simply be html pages on
the
server and the connectivity is all taken care of via cat5... but can't
justify the cost.

I totally agree with Mark that Pronto's would be ideal.. do they have
an
RS232 output ? I thought they were just IR. Cheapest I found them was
£150 which is still 50% dearer than the Palms.. but the Pronto does
have
a big nice screen.
