I currently have 2 HTPC's running windows. I use a RTI XP8 to send strings over IP to them for remote commands, on the PC's themselves I am running an app called MCE controller which listens on the NIC and emulates keyboard presses. Is there any option like this for HTPC control via IP strings for Linux running XBMC or even OpenElec?
Thanks.

Two methods you can use. You could purchase the XBMC driver for the XP8, or use the two way string driver(which I think you are using) to send JSON-RPC over TCP to XBMC. I just started using the two way string driver to receive commands from my Cinema Experience script in XBMC.

Who sells the RTI XBMC driver and is it a reliable choice when/if XBMC gets updated if the driver development stalls/ends?
