[Elecraft] K4 Ethernet interface

[Magnus Danielson]

I will test port 9200 then.

Security on the network does not work very well at all, and telnet is no 
longer installed as it is a security issue to use it. The tradition of 
opening ports through firewall/NAT will leave a port open with no 
security. For that SSH or TLS is the way to go these days. It's just 
they way Internet security works these days, and we have to follow suit.

One could argue that a VPN would be a solution, but then real time 
performance may or may not perform well rather than having control over 
that oneself to make sure the implementation works well.

Cheers,
Magnus
