I agree more, modulating the IR beam would be very hard. Also, does anyone have the source for winshell, coolshell (I REALLY WANT COOLSHELL SOURCE), or something other than simpleshell for Usgard?

This would very cool ;) This can be made only with software on the calc and without modifications in the IR Link hardware. Instead of modulating on a different frequency, the beam can be sent using a specific byte decoding for the target search, and another byte decoding for the 'fire'.
