One way to accomplish this is to use wireless serial devices. These RF
devices allows one to hook up ANY serial device wireless. I have seen some
listed on ebay for about $100+. The setup is as follows:
PC--> serial transmitter serial receiver-->IR Tower
I dont know if it is two way or not. It acts like a wireless bridge that
sends the data back and forth between the PC and the serial device....

| Hi We just got into RCX. We have been using my Palm III and Visor to control the RCX. We have this great idea but need some help. We have an old Logitech Trackman remote control mouse. It uses RF.
