Where have you found serial models? and how much were they? LIRC (www.lirc.org) seems to handle serial models pretty well, and since these days I'm not using my two serial ports for anything else useful (and an IR receiver doesn't exactly need USB 2.0 bandwidth, ha ha) why would I get anything besides a serial model? ~ ross -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
