Hello,

I have a wireless rf "presenter" (intended for use in M$ powerpoint) 
that has a USB dongle to inject keystrokes as if it is a keyboard.

I am ssh-ing into my TS7300 (running Debian) and would like to look at 
the keystrokes generated by the device but, probably due to my low 
understanding of keyboard and tty devices in linux, I can't seem to 
find information on reading the keystrokes from a keyboard device.  
They don't get sent to my console since I am logging in over the 
network.  Can I forward another tty input to my ssh console? 

If necessary, I could open the device and read characters directly.  Is 
there an easy way to do this?  I'm not even sure which device is the 
keyboard.

Any hints are greatly appreciated!

Aaron Miller
