If you have only one receiver and if your machine are networked, you
could probably use the lirc tcp/ip connection and send your remote
signal like this :
irsend --address=host:port "IR CODE"
in you .lircrc file
You have to configure your other lirc deamon to to listen for tcp/ip
and accept simulation:
lircd -l -a
You also can configure some button to switch between 2 modes, one for
the local machine, one for the remote computer
(http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html "The .lircrc file format").
I never tried btw, Hope it help
