Here's a message I received.  I think much of this information is more
useful to Stephane than I, since he's doing the bulk of the coding right
now.  I'll reply and invite him to the list.

Hi,

I'm KD7ENI/AG.  :) {as of Saturday}   I currently own the following radios:

	Handheld:
		HTX-245		Radio Shack
		IC-W32A		ICOM

	Mobile / Base:
		TS-2000

All these presumeably support ascii protocols, however, I only have the
cable for the TS-2000 since it is simply a DB-9 straight through cable.

I have downloaded hamlib and will be checking things out.  If I get
good results or bugfixes I'll let you know.  The hardcopy of the
TS-2000 manual has several errors.  I haven't cross checked with their
pdf version yet but some of the programming stuff does not jive with
actual responses.  Again, I'll let you know when I've confirmed the pdf
file.

If you have time setup template definitions for the above radios and I'll
do what I can to get at least backup/restore type operations to function
for them.  This assumes I can find enough info on the handhelds.  Kenwood's
serial stuff works great so far despite the errors.  I don't have cables
for the handhelds yet and am loath to purchase them if they may be easily
built.

Any data/pointers will be appreciated.

I hope to help out on the project (Linux side only).  My aim is to build a
backup restore function for the above radios.  The radio shack is very
much a pain to program, so I want the backup to be and editable text file.

We'll see how it goes.  I'm not well known for being able to complete one
project before another captures my interest (like my "Poor Man's Spectrum
analyzer" from Science Workshop).

My e-mail sometimes goes a week or so without getting checked so don't
be concerned if you don't get an instant response.  I get very little
e-mail and generally like to keep it that way.   :)

Thank you for making hamlib available.

73's
