Yes there is - any radio with CI-V.  Just about all
of us providing the HF packet mail link from NA into
Asia-Pacific were using ICOMs so that we could
auto-QSY multiple rigs without using up precious
serial ports (this was about 20 years ago).

CI-V also allows for multiple controllers, though I
have yet to see any other application that appears
to properly implement its CSMA/CD protocol.
