To answer your question (before the pissing contest started): You can either build/buy a LIRC serial adapter that plugs into your serial port for reception and transmission (yes, it does both). Or go for a USB one.
I bought a TIRA-2, but the support has been horrible. Advertised as linux compatible, with no instructions on how to make it go. No support help either. The LIRC site has a number of compatible units listed, and if your electricly inclined, a schematic on how to built the serial port model. As for scripting it into freevo. I have asked about it, but never got a response. So either: 1) No one is tackling this project 2) Or my post got missed. I'd be more than happy to try it to make it work, but I still havent got the TIRA 2 to work (and now I have a kernel panic to try to figure out as my kernel slowly self destructs) Hope this helps..
