Infrared to serial signaler

Hi I work in the Home Automation area and am interested in trying to expand some current products functionality. Specificialy i am interested in expanding the use of Global Cache

What i am looking for is a device or piece of software that takes an infrared signal and outputs a serial code via a com port, the reason being is we have software that will not include serial codes for certain devices but has infrared progamability. So i could get the programe to send an infrared signal to the device and the device have a serial command it would then send to the device mimicing serial control. I know 2 way communication would be harder but serial control is all i am trying to achieve for now via infrared. Can anyone suggest anything?
