lirc
LIRC is a package that supports receiving and sending IR signals of the most common IR remote controls. It contains a daemon that decodes and sends IR signals, a mouse daemon that translates IR signals to mouse movements, and a couple of user programs that allow to control your computer with a remote control.

I would like to post a funny effect of lirc. I own a Pinnacle Pro IR receiver plugged in the COM1 port (modem is in COM 0). The remote control works only if modem is connected with the power supply, otherwise has a "crazy" behaviour..
