I haven't downloaded the package yet though I will shortly... here's my question though; does this include a full port of LIRC that runs on the tablet itself, or does it simply emulate/have some way of creating fake signals that then get sent across the network to trigger LIRC on another machine somewhere?

I'm going to see if I can figure out a way to throw together a quick and dirty little IR blaster (either serial or USB), but if the package doesn't include LIRC or any modules then it's going to be a lot more complicated...

Thanks,
