+The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux
+through Bluetooth, InfraRed, Wi-Fi or TCP/IP connection.
+
+anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones line Nokia, SonyEricsson,
+Motorola and others.
+
+anyRemote was developed as a thin "communication" layer between Buetooth
+(IR, Wi-Fi)-capabled phone and Linux, and in principle could be configured
+to manage almost any software.
+
+anyRemote could be used with:
+
+ * bluetooth connection with java client if cell phone is JSR82 compatible
+ * Wi-Fi connection with java client if phone supports Wi-Fi
+ * IR connection with java client if java in phone supports access to IR port
+ * TCP/IP connection with java client, if PC is connectable from internet
+ * bluetooth, infrared or cable connection using AT "modem" commands
+ * web interface
+ * it supports some of IR remotes supplied with TV tuner cards (like LIRC)
+ * it has limited support for Bemused clients
