Inputattach

From iPodLinux

inputattach is a linux tool handling serial input hardware devices, such as a keyboard, joystick or remote control, of which an extended version supporting the iPod remote is installed in your userland

To use it on your iPod, pass /dev/tts/0 as the device parameter to select the Serial Port at input.

See here for an example use with the serial remote control.
