Hello

I am trying to do exactly the same thing. I cannot drill the walls in my
apartment so I will leave my rig (yaesu 817) close to the antenna, with
its serial port and mic/spk connected to an old pentium.

I have managed to make grig-hamlib work under debian 3.1 with my ft 817, 
see: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1449631&forum_id=80395

A straight-through way to solve the audio link is gnomemeeting, which 
works very fine in a lan. You can even have the rig, swr meter or 
anything else monitored with a webcam. There are other ways to send 
audio between linux machines through a network, in a kind of "virtual 
soundcard", but I have not explored them.

As an alternative, you could use a wireless rs232 link via ISM 
transceivers and you could also send the audio with the help of a 
cordless phone just like here:
