Remote station operation from a Netbook?
Has anyone seen a Linux-based app that provides for remote operation of a FT-857D via an Internet-connected Netbook?
I have a Parrott bluetooth headset and adapter for hands-free audio.

Have an http://ultrafidian.com day!Sounds like Echolink would fit the bill here. I'd check on those mailing lists to see if anyone else has setup a FT-857 before.

I haven't seen a single app which will handle both the control and audio aspects.
You could probably combine two apps to do it, though. Using the hamlib libraries to provide the control link to the radio, the Grig program as the graphical front end (it can operate over a network via RPC), and some sort of SIP-based soft phone to provide the audio path, seems like a combination which could be made to work.
Could IRLP be used with GRIG to accomplish this?
Is GRIG still being developed and supported or has flrig taken its place?

I haven't used IRLP at all, but from what I see on their main page, it looks to me as if that combination could work. One would use an IRLP board hooked to the radio's audio and PTT lines (probably through the auxiliary jack), and a serial-port interface to the CAT jack being controlled by GRIG or something similar.

The last update to the GRIG page seems to have been in 2008. I don't know whether it's under active development or support.
flrig does seem to be under active development... I can't tell whether it's a formal successor to grig (i.e. derived to some extent from the grig code) or whether it's a complementary/competing release.
