[Elecraft] K2 Control, Internet Server, Microsoft Or Linux???

[Larry Phipps]

If you use HRD, Simon has a remote server integrated into the software. 
You'll need a router with the ability to do port forwarding to allow 
access to the incoming TCP port , and you'll need to disable the 
firewall for HRD.  It runs as a service and  will run on NT/2K/XP. The 
info is in the HRD help file.
