Just added another "toy" to the the MESH.

I configured my remote rig equipment (www.remoterig.com) to manage my IC7100. Connected the control hear to one node and the radio to another node.  Works like a champ!

Base node configuration:

PicoStation M2

Linksys 5 port switch

Remoterig Radio node

All using DHCP (will change this more than likely)

Control Head Node

Bullet M2

Trendnet POE switch (node and Remoterig unit powered by the switch)

Again all using DHCP

My next task is to add a SCS Net Pactor Modem. This will give me remote winlink as well as remote D-Star. The challenge there (at least for me) is to figure out serial over IP from remote connected computer running d-rats and airmail.

Also added a streaming server for a connected scanner. This is using a RPI,, Black Ice as discussed in one of the other subject list.

A few years ago I put together a program for a friend that would allow him to serial into his repeater remotely and run the (proprietary) radio control tools from off mountain.

im having trouble rendering at the moment what I used on the Linux side but for the windows side I used com0com (on sourceforge) if memory is correct with the tcpredirector

I had the unique need that I had to control the RTS/CTS lines which made my search harder, in your case you just need to send a data stream over IP (serial over ip) without needing to control those extra pins so you should have easier luck.

If I can recall what I used on the server side or find my old instruction set I'll let you know. 

In this manner you could use the packet modem remotely on a remote computer as if it were really attached to the computer.
