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.
