[Elecraft] K4 and Linux Infrastructure

[Al Lorona]

 You guys have now reached the scenario I was trying to ask about last week, but obviously didn't make myself understood.
When I asked if the K4 would be able to 'talk to the outside world', I meant an ability to initiate communications with a web site, a server, or something else.
Yes, allowing users to get down to the operating system would probably be unmanageable. But what about loading 'apps', in the same way that you install apps on your phone? I could see a logging app, a reverse beacon app, or something else that would add real functionality to the radio. I'm sure that's been talked about... and I wonder what the thinking is along these lines.
