    What sort of "server program" are you looking for? In other words,
    what sort of service is it required to provide?

    Both are standard parts of the Linux kernel, so neither is a problem
    to set up. As far as the "server program" is concerned, it would be
    unlikely to know how you connected, and even less likely to care.

    That depends on precicely what you want it to do.

    You could do worse than look at the Linux software on
    http://www.f6fbb.org for the FPAC node software, which handles all
    forms of ham connectivity to your Linux computer and lets the
    applications deal with application related matters rather than with
    connectivity matters. Drop the F6FBB BBS software on top of that
    together with your DXcluster software and whatever else you want.

    Best wishes from Riley.
