a Pegasus rig control implementation that needs hammering? If so, I'd love to volunteer.

Ah! The Slackware 1.0 and its huge pile of floppies. The dream of every 
SLS hacker! That's where this 150MB tape came handy.

You own a Pegasus? Great! I have the specs, but no hardware to test it.
A tentec backend already exists, and I just commited the pegasus caps
to the cvs rep. Let me know if you're ready to test Hamlib directly from
cvs checkouts. It's more convenient for me, otherwise, I would have to
make prerelease tar balls.
After build and install, you can test your rig with "rigctl -m 1601 -vvv".
If anything goes wrong (and I'm pretty sure it will), please report with
traces.  A lot of functions are still missing, but set_freq/set_mode
should work though. Patches are welcome, protocol is available at

Happy hammering!
