Question controlling mythbox from a remote device


I know this is kinda more suited for the mythtv forums but I like it here , so here I ask... Ive recently implemented a MythTV box in my house and having a keyboard lying around is a pain in the ass and usb remotes are kinda chinsey. So I was thinking about getting one of those Nokia 770's as I will not tolerate anything non linux/unix based in my house. However all the documentation that I have seen just covers controlling the server from the wifi connection, as opposed to the front ends wich are connected to the tv's as in the case of mythweb, am I wrong ? Anyone have any pearls of wisdom ?

Regards

You're looking for mythwebremote. I used to use it so I could use my iPod touch (which is unix based) as a remote for mythtv.
