Scott, WA6LIE, in Centeral California has up an internet remote, with a
Yaesu FT 857,
using Skype, and Ham Radio Deluxe (free software) seems almost plug and
play.
Have used it, in a basic mode, dont know if/how one can send CW, or
implement
antenna swtiching. I moved to Sacramento Area from Monterey, and use it
check into
VHF evening nets at my former location.
