I have a LAN (Win2k server based) in my house that includes the server being a DNS server, DHCP server and Domain controller. I have this configuration so (...)

If you're using Linux, see if Linux IR tools can chat with a tower -- or if some other RS-232 IR device can chat with a Lego device. I haven't had time to do such tests yet. (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

It provides something that looks just like a typical serial port to the application, but underneath is layered on top of IrLAP (packet based link level prototocol for IrDA). This means (...)

I know there are a couple of ya. So I thought I might drop a note about the iTunes plugins I have been making. Still in Lame stage but fun. (URL) and updates to follow as I find time to play with the code. Best DaveG (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) This isn't true at all. The tower converts an RS-232 serial transmission directly into IR and vice-versa. It is a pretty standard protocol. -Kekoa (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) You can't really do what you are trying to do. The tower is designed to operate in request-reply mode. It sends a request, waits a few seconds, receives a reply during that time, then turns off. The idle state of the tower is off, and (...)

(...) Not really -- the tower uses its own proprietary communcations format. It's similar enough to that used by remote controls that learning remotes can pick up the signals, but I haven't heard of anyone going the other way around.
