Pierre,

There was just an article in QST about how to do something like this.

The remote end, will have a Pi with ser2net installed.

your end, at the comfort of your home/wherever, will have com0com, or similar.

I'm fittin to try this same thing with radio programming.


have a gander at this here link:
