I thought this dongle (Adaptek AIRport 2000) and other serial IR IRDA dongles 
dont "process" the IRDA signals by themselves, but send it on to the host to 
have it processed there. So it should give me some sort of raw output, which 
i do get. (and should be able to use as input)

Why should it not work?
- My dongle receives a signal over several meters
- It outputs predictable Strings containing the code of each button

I will add more info to my reply to Karl Bonger's mail.

Thankx for your reply,
