    Jim:
    Do need to send RS232 data, or just some commands. We plan to build a
    remote using Rentron's "Firestick" IR tx/rx modules. They have ~ 100' range
    and are not fussy about accurate aiming, especially at close range. They
    have a 4 bit output and can send up to 15 unique commands. They give
    reliable communications because they use Holtek coders/decoders. If you
    only need commands, they are great.

    Just a thought: Have you experimented with various (slower) baud rates?
    Slow might work better?
