As the Roaming Gnome says, "Oh frash....the TRW ARC was controlling a SSB station vis telephone in the early 1990s and by 1995 they were controling a RTTY or AMTOR rig via the Internet and it was frequency, band and antenna aiming capable. Ok, I'll give you that it took a rather large computer bac then to do it...I think a 200 MHz AT&T 3B2-600G. :-) Walt/K5YFW
