Thank you for all your answers. This has helped me a lot. I think I will
buy one of those Keyspan PDA devices.
I´ve been using the Irman for some time now and I´m quite happy about it.
I´m using it using a driver written by someone on the net. I haven´t looked
at the sourcecode yet, but I would presume that the Irman does the decoding
itself, so I don´t think that that would pose a problem. I think I will just
try it and I´ll let you guys now if it works.
And BTW, since I´m using the Irman in an application that I´ve written, I
would rather not like to change IR devices. I´m trying to stick to the Irman
(so you don´t have to speed up the development of the driver for me ;)
Cu,
Bart De Win.
