Right now I'm using Teamviewer for remote access, as it's a Windows XP box now. I'm thinking I want to change it to a lightweight version of Linux. I'm looking at LUBUNTU. The .iso still fits on a CD. I also have to look at how to put D-RATS in the startup queue. I'm beginning to think the fldigi module is not going to work as well as I had thought, so I might drop it from the project.
I do not know what port Wires-X uses.
Fldigi uses port 7322 to communicate with its ARQ module. That is how I got it talking to D-RATS.
