want to be able to use my Myth box to do web surfing, so I want to use<br>
a keyboard to enter URLs and the such like. I really would like the<br>
keyboard to work as a "normal" keyboard so that I can do bios and text
<br>
level stuff under Linux (ie fix broken things).<br>

Any suggestions for keyboards (and mice/trackpad) that will work say<br>
more than two metres from the box and won't interfere with WiFi or<br>
cordless phones?

I use BTC 9019URF (<a href="http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-7-21keyboard.htm#9019URFIII" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-7-21keyboard.htm#9019URFIII</a>
).
It's good enough that we long ago gave up bothering with a remote.
