My replacement for spirit.ocx does not yet support sending messages to
the RCX, but it would only take
10 min to add it. (It is planned, but first I am working on cloning
spirit.ocx).
As for receiving, the IR tower shuts down to fast to reliably receive
these messages.
For more info on the spirit.ocx replacement, send mail to
