Yes. > 6) What kind of bandwidth is required, to have a server? Can I use just a > basic Comcast type internet connection or does it require a T1 type > connection? You might search the dstar-gateway groups messages, but the bottom line is you need DSL or wifi (or better) - 250 Kbits/sec would be very workable - down AND UP. > 7) ICOM brochure says I need a static IP. That was for G1. Everyone is on G2 now, and that is no longer required. There is still some delay in updating when your IP changes, no more than one hour and that is supposed to be getting fixed, but you wouldn't want a service where the IP changes several times daily. > 8) How much does the server software cost? Is there any special server > computer needed? Or will a basic home computer work. Is there any special > hardware, for a server? $300 last time I looked. Specifications are here in the RS-RP2C manual: http://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?Document=339 (page 1). 73 -- John
