But that's not amateur radio. Whatever happened to the "experiment" and "build" and "test". Today, most of the new people don't know an antenna from a doughnut. That's a sad commentary for where amateur radio has gone.
Well....for some thats a great option. Micro-Node International stuff is well designed, can't go wrong there... Companies that host your website charge,ISP's charge,VoIP service providers charge....
I saw this one on line....A "Service" that allows you to use their WORLD CLASS Elecraft K-3 (all 4 of them) remotely so you don't have to install anything at your home.Just sign on, hammer down and be a "Big Dawg".So what does this cost? (Kevlar underwear time).... The "Package" starts at a Paultry $3000 a year (no transmit time included) and goes all the way to $7000 a year (includes TX time and you can reserve it for your contest time)...... Hows THAT for HAM radio with a dollar sign in mind????

For those who just *DONT* want to (or for some reason can't) go through the process of setting up a Linux system, dealing with its administration, configuring hardware, etc., there is now a "hosted", subscription-based solution that, along with a Micro-Node International RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module) (or a generic Voter board), makes a nice "no-brainer" Allstar node installation.
Attached is the "initial marketing blurb" from Micro-Node.

P.S. Sorry for this being a blatant advertisement regarding a for-pay service. It seemed appropriate. If you don't agree, please try not to send *TOO* many "flaming spears" in my direction :-) :-).
