Just a warning here to be careful. VNCs are notorious for being
unsecure. You are probably OK on the Mac for quite a while, but the
Windows component may open up pandora's box. For this reason many, if
not most, companies have banned VNC from their internal networks.
Yeah, yuck!

Here's a configuration that may work. It incorporates a K2 radio
control program running on your Mac and a means to control you Mac
via the Internet from your Windows operating system PCs. (You've
got the audio part figured out.)
1) Install a K2 control program on you Mac. This will allow you to
control the frequency, mode and other parameters of your K2. Here
are two possible programs.
a) David's (W4SMT) program that he mentioned here on the
reflector earlier today. (I don't know where it's available. This is
the first I've heard about his work ... sounds interesting.)
b) A program from NI5V -> (http://www.machamradio.com/software/ni5v/mack2/index.html
)
2) Install on you Mac a VNC (Virtual Network Computer) "server" that
allows you to capture your Mac's screen and keyboard. With this,
you can control your Mac, and thus it's applications from another
computer via the internet.
Here's a link to a free VNC servere for OSX ->

3) Finally, you need a VNC "viewer" that runs on the Windows PCs to
connect to the above VNC "server", control you Mac and run K2
control program.
Here's a link to a VNC "viewer" that run on Windows ->

Here's the schematic ...
Windows -> VNC Viewer -> internet -> VNC server -> K2 control program
Hope this gives you some ideas,
Barry, WK2S
