Good Morning, I have node 27129 working just fine at home using an older P4 PC, but now want to move this functionality to the repeater site. I was thinking that a laptop and DMK interface would probably work the best, with possibly a broadband USB stick for internet access. Granted a lower-tier broadband service would probably cost a little per month, it should be easier than running a seperate RF link back to my house and using that broadband connection. Coverage at the site is no problem. I'm asking what others are doing in regards to PC equipment. I'm aware of the Mini-ITX boards and CF, but what specs should I look for in a used laptop thinking it would mostly be self-contained and quieter than a PC? If I use the broadband service, then I only need one DMK for the repeater, otherwise with the RF link I would need two. The PC would be housed in the same rack cabinet as the repeater. Is this a good idea? Remote control is another concern - how are some of you doing that? I'm comfortable with Linux, PuTTY, etc. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Tony
