Rig control is built into fldigi, and the pskmail client makes use of that
capability.
Of course I could have reinvented the wheel, but I am too lazy for that.
Fldigi implements rig control via hamlib, or via its own routines. (I don't
know why,
I think it would have been a lot more efficient if they had helped improve
hamlib instead).
Anyway, the client tells fldigi what to do by means of its XMLRPC control
socket
on port 7362. This control socket is also used to get interesting info from
fldigi like S/N values and to operate the squelch.
You can test if that works by using the XMLRPC shell which is part of the
fldigi distribution.
See the relevant fldigi documentation...

I do not understand why xmlrpc must be used for control of the rig. Why can
hamlib not be used ?.

For rigctl to work on a remote machine the following should be configured:
* Preferences->Edit->Modem->IP address = ip address of remote machine
* On the remote machine port 7362 is listening when fldigi runs
* In fldigi->configuration->Rig->XMLRPC is checked on the remote machine...
I have not tested this, but it does not look like a bug...

=====================================================================
When i do try to connect to a remote fldigi I can not use the rigctl function.
at the start-up there is an error screen with
problem with xmlrpc get frequency: org.apache.xmlrpc.Xmlrpcexception; Failed
to read server's responce: Connection refused
The normal functions are working ok, but not the rig control.
Setup is:
fldigi 3.21.7 om a XP
jpskmail 0.9.0 on ubuntu machine
Running jpskmail on the same machine as fldigi the rigcontrol is working ok.
only in the remote setup it is not working.
If this is a bug what can i do to help you fix this ?.
