Axim as remote control for Inspiron PC?

Does anyone know a way to use the x50v as a remote control for the Dell Inspiron 9400?

The PC has a beaut wide-screen and DVD player. Can I use the PDA as a remote control for it?

I'm sure I could control an ordinary DVD player and TV with the Axim, using the IR. and I guess I've seen software for the purpose.

But this PC comes without the IR port, so is there a way to use the BT connection? How cool would that be!

Zerama Remote will control Windows Media Player via Bluetooth with your x50v. I believe that is what you're trying to do.

I've tried 'em all but the best one out there is Salling Clicker. It will control not only WMP but will control most media players (itunes, winamp, powerDVD and so on), power point etc. You can perform operations like turning off/standby, volume control on the PC. Best thing is it is scriptable. So anybody can write a small script to control his/her fav application on the PC. There is a tutorial for Salling Clicker scripting on ebooks.aximsite.com. It works both over bluetooth or wifi.
