Simplest option would probably be to get a LIRC-based serial IR receiver, which would let you re-use the 250's remote if you wanted to, or most other IR remotes. (FIR/CIR is the wrong type of IR device to use) You also have the option of getting a USB-based receiver instead. Another option is to use a suitable wireless keyboard and a learning remote, which negates the requirement to use LIRC on the frontend as you get the remote to 'learn' the keyboard instead. Nick
