http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=28 describes a software client that requires only a small dongle for some interconnects. It also serves as a passkey for the software. You have an RRC at the radio end and a PC plus this dongle at your control site. It looked perfect for me to complement my fixed-station control site when traveling. I never got it working very well, though. That may have been operator error but I lost interest before getting it going satisfactorily. They have since upgraded the device. It may work fine but I'm not a good reference. Your inquiry reminds me to try again! ;-)
