Yes either way. Read the documentation at http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/2 and http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/32

There is a password capability. See above docs.

> When entering remote base command codes, do you do it in one transmission, or do you press *4+node number, unkey, and then enter command+pound sign. Do you have to enter the pound sign after every command sequence?

I'm pretty sure you can string all the commands together. Try it and let us know. 

> The web page for remote base configuration recommends radios to use.  Those radios aren't being manufactured anymore.  What are people using for remote base radios? I would like my remote base to be frequency agile if possible.

Sorry, that's all there is as far a I know.

When my system is connected to a remote node, I want to have a sound like a dial tone sent for local transmissions, and a double dial tone sound for remote transmissions.  Can I do this?

Courtesy tones are quite versatile and should do what you want. See http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/96
