I apologize if this question has been asked and answered, but searching
through this group did not provide a solid answer.

Can this be done.. I have a linux box running as a webserver. I would like to
plug the IR unit to the serial port and be able to control the RCX from a CGI
program. I was looking at the RCX perl module, but would like to use NQC for
RCX control and programing. Is there any way of doing this.

have a robot arm that could be controled from anywhere over the internet,
using a custom little web interface and a webcam to view the action.

Any ideas, or sugestions on where to start with the control part of this.

Thanks a bunch

Chris
