remote HAM Radio Rig with linux and Alix Board

Because my Rig and my Workstation are in different Places i needed a Solution to control the Rig from the Workstation over a WiFi Connection

I got an Alix-Board for Processing and an USB-Interface to connect the Transceiver.

The Alix Board runs Ubuntu with LXDE Desktop controled via VNC Session.

I run QSSTV on remote Side to put (digital)SSTV Pictures to a SSTV Repeater nearby.

I tried to connect Streams from the Workstation to remote Rig, and i run EasyPal in a QEMU VM under Windows XP and stream Audio via Icecast Server in both Directions.
