[Kenwood] TS-480 remote access

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Did you make cables to connect the PC sound card to the radio?  Sound card
interfaces with isolation transformers used by many of the logging programs
should work.

TAPI and VoIP (Voice over IP) are protocols the software uses to communicate
over the network.  If you are really going to use this over the internet, I
would not use anything less than a certificate based VPN tunnel to connect
with.  (I use ZyWall's).

Greetings All,

I'm a new TS-480SAT owner -- nice rig!

I'd like to access it over the internet from my laptop when I'm away from
home.

I've downloaded/installed the two software pieces from the Kenwood website
(ARHP-10 on the shack PC and ARCP-480 on my laptop).  I've made/tested the
cables to connect the TS-480 to the shack PC.

I can connect to/control the TS-480 from the laptop, bur cannot get any
audio either way.  

What am I missing?  How does the audio get from the laptop to the shack PC?
The Kenwood doco talks (briefly) about
a "TAPI" interface -- ehat is that?  And the advertising lit mentions "VoIP"
-- isn't that SKYPE ?  Do I need that on teh laptop?

Thanks for any insights . . .
