I was hoping there might be something out there similar to what is being done in the Microsoft Windows world with remote controlled radio's via TCP/IP, but I guess its just not there with Linux yet. I can't complain though, as you have indicated, all the tools are there, I just need to figure out how to glue them all together to get the results I need... Thanks for the input! 73 Doug N7BFS
