This looks really neat; I need to try this out soon. I have a Scout, Microscout and remote control, but no RCX, so this system would be ideal. > On the Scout you select the > Stand-Alone mode, not the Power mode. Just a slightly related question; it's probably a stupid one, but I've never been able to figure out what the Power Mode does.

Thanks for the information; this kind of stuff is very useful to me since I have a bit of a problem with the computer integration methods. My serial port is in use by an external modem, so I can't connect the IR tower without disconnecting the modem, which can be a bit of a hassle. A USB-serial converter is another option but those seem to be rather expensive (the cheapest one I could find was $50 USD). -Gaurav
