Just a followup... Er,uh, it turns out that I have been struggling on and off for the past 3-4 days trying to get the Packard Bell IR receiver and remote to work w/Knoppmyth ON THE WRONG SERIAL PORT! I checked the port when I started and somehow misread the label and never looked at it again.
I've been involved with computers/networking for more than 20 years and I just relearned the first corrollary of computing - Hey Dope, it's usually the cable/connector that's the problem. 8^) Thanks to those who offered me assistance. For the record, the $10 Packard Bell receiver/remote works like a charm!
