i have 2

is there any support to connect to the hamlib interface on a port

Hi George,
I think that may be possible by using a Hamlib utility called
rigctlcom, it can connect to a Hamlib rigctld server and also
emulates basic TS-2000 rig. You would connect to it using a
virtual serial loopback service like com0com (or socat on *nix
style systems). It is also a full Hamlib rigctl client so can
connect directly to any Hamlib supported rig, thereby converting
the CAT interface to a basic TS-2000 emulation.
Having said that, I just tried it to interface with my Icom
IC-756 starting it on a serial port loopback pair COM18 - COM19
like this:
rigctlcom -m 3026 -r COM5 -s 19200 -p COM5 -P RTS -R COM18 -S 19200
then tried to connect to as if a Kenwood rig on COM19 19200 baud
8N1 from Commander. It didn't work quite as it should but it was
trying to work. YMMV with the rig(s) you are using.
