hmm, sorry for the confusion, but i thought i made this clear! :-( 
anyway, if nobody is using the tcm right now, i will have to browse the 
"supported remote controls" list on the lirc hompage and find one that 
has a similar button layout as the tcm. hopefully the first one i find 
can also be emulated by the tcm! ;-)
have you got some tipps what i should look for?

best regards ...
