Mental said that he uses it alot, but I've never had ANYTHING to do with it. Is it just a NL/EUR phenonemon, or is it more universal and I'm just in the past?
I only use to control my TV/stereo with my laptop, and i used it a lot to sync my PDA with my PC.
Its also used alot to sync//network laptops together.
If you want to use remote control you need a COM IrDA. USB IrDa can't be used with a remote control I spent a lot of time to understand it. If you want to use IrDa for transmitting data (for example to connect with a mobile) - it's very slowly - on my Siemens CX65 100Kb copied in 1 minute. It's better to buy a cable.

i gotta do this, how do u do it?
Set it up as Rx device, and be sure you choose the right Ir port, and the port speed must be 115.2kbit (or something like that)
Kind of reminds me of the time where I had to test Universal Electronics Nevo software with a Pocket PC.
Pfph... And I didn't get paid....
