DESCRIPTION

The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux through Bluetooth, InfraRed, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connection.

anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, SonyEricsson, Motorola and others.

It was developed as thin "communication" layer between Bluetooth (IR, Wi-Fi)-capabled phone and Linux, and in theory could be configured to manage almost any software.
