I've been looking at getting a desktop PC dedicated to my hamshack. Of course, I want to do the usual stuff....logging, rig control, digital modes, etc., but I also would like to do remote control over the Internet. Do a little hamming or at least listening on my K2 from my hotel room in the evening when I am out of town.
1) Can I use the same PC to control my ham radio & to be my webserver? 2) Got a quote on a locally built desktop...3000 AMD, 512 RAM, 80 Gig etc., with XP-Home... Does this sound adquate? 3) Will MS-XP-Home work? 4) Recommended software for webserver...."Frontpage?" 5) Is wireless adequate? (I'm thinking about looking for a wireless booster) 6) Should I consider Linux for an operating system ... or....will that just make everything non-standard? As you can see, this area of building up a webserver is new to me....so I'm trying to sort thru the hardware & software issues. From a software stand point, I'll probably look at Ham Radio Deluxe first....& then I guess I need a program to build the website with....& then, is there a specific Internet server software, I need, too??? 73, Lynn K5AVJ (K2 #1411) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
