[Elecraft] Re: K2 Remote/Server

[Larry Phipps]

Yes Bob, VNC will work, but it's not real fast unless you have a decent connection.

I used a linux redirector daemon called sredird a couple years ago on RedHat 6. It wasn't as reliable as I wanted, but it did work and supported the full telnet com port control protocol. 

In the end, I decided I liked a hardware solution to avoid having to deal with crashes, reboots etc. at the remote site... plus my modem and Serial Server run on batteries so that power failures are rarely a problem... plus I like having all the software at home so I can change programs (like between MixW and TRX-Manager). 

The serial server basically remotes the com ports, not the software.
