[TenTec] Remote rig operations

[Ron Castro]

It's an interesting proposition since I travel on business several days out 
of every month, and I would love to use my Orion II via my laptop from the 
hotel room.  All of the places I stay now have free broadband, and with VNC 
and Skype, I think I see the way to make it all work together!
