Understanding IR

[John Poltorak <jp@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know of any good references for understanding IR?

In principle, is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to use the IR
port on my laptop as a remote control for the TV or any other device which
which be remote controlled?


I'm also trying to figure out how X10 is supposed to be used to connect
to remote devices... Do I need some sort of converter to be able to do 
this? As I understand it X10 only works across devices connected by the
mains.
