No there is not remote at all in the bundle.

I trying to do that, but i'm not able  to find a recent and working
repository for usbreplay and parser.pl

Seems that http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Usbreplay is out of date,
and that http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/usbreplay is no more available.

Can you point me to a working repository where i can get them ?

Thanks

Laurent
