What features will D-RATS provide using RX only?

I will configure my repeater accordingly (Porttype = Network, Host Address =
127.0.0.1, Port 24581 <- module B) ?. I can start it into background using
"Xvfb - virtual framebuffer X server for X Version 11".

Ok, maybe we should pass this to the other D-Star lists. I guess the G4KLX
ircDDB Gateway software will support the ICOM RP2C soon and maybe can
provide one or more sockets (several modules) for TX/RX of serial data one
day.
