Re: [mh] RF remote control to talk to the linux box

[Rick S. <mis...@co...>]

well, the X10 RF remote control can be used to send to the W800. It's 
also a TV/VCR remote. I use it that way all the time.  Once you're 
sending X10 commands, you can grab and react to them however you want with MH.

X10 Powerhouse Platinum remote.
