Thanks for everyone's input.
Controller choice seems to be like a religion. Everybody has their
favourite and are reluctant to try another brand.
The 3x4 vs 4x4 is a big one for me. I think the only radio I own with
a 4x4 keypad is an old 03AT.
At the remote site, I would have telnet access or serial access from
the public internet and software access from within the private wan.
At this point I think I'll read over a few manuals and contact a
couple of vendors.
Right now the biggest problem is to keep the internal repeat function
of the repeater enabled while still allowing the controller to manage
the remote link.
I think it's doable and will just require the right controller and a
bit of playing.
Once again, thanks.
