As someone who knows nothing about the stuff you've mentioned, and therefore 
even less about remote control, it strikes me that a How To could be of great 
benefit to those of us that are faced with the serial radio and the USB ported 
computer.  My experience with the USB to anything converters, dongles, prayer 
wheels and incense burners has been less than satisfactory.

I would be grateful to read more about it, as it may give me yet another tool in 
the fight against technology.
