	I wrote a command line version of an Elecraft K2 rig control program.  It is 
on http://www.qsl.net/ab6cv
I called it fasttuna.  Not all features are implemented but it is quite 
usable.  It works on RedHat 9 with no problems.  It "should" work on most new 
Linux distros.  Make sure you recompile for your OS.  If you have RH9 the 
executable, called kookoo, should just run.

	This was requested by a blind ham.  Kind of a neat idea.  He uses a text to 
speech converter to read what is "seen" on the screen.  I was also thinking 
this might be neat to use with your Zaurus PDA. You could telnet in to the 
system connected to the K2 and control it remotely this way.  If you have 
802.11b in your house and the K2 PC is on ethernet too.  You get the idea.
Screen size isn't that big a deal if its all text based.
