Sending a Go directly to the box is most of the time a better 
solution, so I assume that situation.

Depending of your definition of "remote", you can use an older Palm 
device with serial (modem) cable and use LCedit for Palm, as the LC 
serial port is unused in above setup.

Alternative, add the LC MIDI adapter and use a programmable MIDI commander.

Wireless alternative: Add an iPrint-LT to your LanBox-LC and connect 
the Ethernet to an Apple Airport Express. You can now use your 
Powerbook wireless to control the box via EtherTalk (AppleTalk).

With a LanBox-LCX or LCE you could use a Palm Tungsten-C which has 
built-in WIFI, but it's TCP/IP only.

Do you want a wireless remote control device, or e.g. using your 
PowerBook to control the box wireless?
