Does anybody know of a board or box that plugs into a PC that will enable me to send and receive Infared ? I want my computer to control my TV and stereo. I would also like to be able to have the computer respond to commands from my remote also. Martin mfs@edison.cho.ge.com

EduPlus is out of CostaMesa, CA and I think the adaptor ran for something like $80.00... -- -=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=-*=-=*=- University of California, San Diego - ICC e-mail: gyro@ucsd.edu "DOS sucks - get a SPARCStation NeXTStation
