 Hello,

 I'm wanting to write a driver for lirc to allow me to transmit IR
 signals via a Global Caché GC-100.  In essence, this requires me to
 communicate with the GC-100 via TCP in response to ioctls (received?)
 via /dev/lircX.

 Can anyone point me in right direction towards achieving this?  Is it
 possible to do everything in userspace?  Under Linux, there appears to
 be something called FUSD, which allows one to write userspace device
 drivers.  Is there anything similar under FreeBSD?

Do you mean FUSE?  There is FUSE for FreeBSD.  I have used it with EncFS.

Thanks for the pointer.  I did mean FUSD, 
http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/fusd/, although looking at 
FUSE, it may well be that that'll do what I need.
