Take a look at www.w4mq.com and check out the IRB Internet Remote Base software there. I am running it with a TS2000B and it is fabulous. John has done a terrific job and is continuing to develop the software. You can use several different kinds of ip based audio, it will control antenna tuners, amps, rigs (esp the TS2000/TS480/ts570) but will work with anything using the DXCommander as interface between his software and other rigs. Getting it to work with the radio is a piece of cake. Getting all the signals through your firewall is a bit more of an issue, but once you get the hang of it, it's no big deal. I can have a remote base set up in less than 2 hours, start to finish. I know this because that's exactly how long it took me to set one up for a friend. Oh, and in terms of the Group purpose, it will also allow you to work PSK31, CW and other modes remotely as well.
