Remote control LIRC

Check out this article by Andy on how to remote control winlirc via telnet!

Andy uses a $12 IR Blaster from http://www.irblaster.info/ and winlirc to control his infrared robot.  Along the way he explains how you can configure winlirc to act as a telnet server.  From another computer you can then telnet to the machine running winlirc to execute IR commands.

Andy further explains how you can write a remote control program to interface to the winlirc telnet server using .NET

Nice work Andy!
