    We have sevral projects & products at
    http://www.rentron.com/remote.htm that
    may be of some help with your application.

    We have high-powered Infrared, RF, and even
    an X10 project that uses the FireCracker RF
    X10 module with free Visual Basic control
    software.

    Hi everybody,


    I was wondering if it's possible to send RF messages to a basic stamp
    directly from a computer.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would be glad to hear from you.

    Thanks a lot.

    Well, although I haven't used them for this purpose the Maxstream 9XStream
    and 24XStream radios are capable of this. The 24X can send data over
    hundreds of feet with reasonable antennas, while the 9X is capable of up to
    10 miles with reasonable antennas. I find these radios extremely easy to use
    with the Stamps, and they provide a high-speed, very reliable data link.
