If you use the LIRC-serial receiver you could connect the data-pin of
the TSOP1738 to DCD and RING instead of DCD-only and provide power by 5V
VSB instead of serial port. When setting wake-on-ring your PC would
react on any infrared signal as it is passed to RING.

There are also some projects to have extended functions with
micro-processors, but therefor you need a PCB and extended soldering.
