This is because for the RPC backend, the rig device file name is
the hostname of the RPC server.
i.e. rigctl -m 1901 is equivalent to rigctl -r localhost -m 1901
So just open up the pathname combo box of xlog (anyway, USB serial port
can names different than /dev/ttySx), and allow to enter free form,
at least for the RPC backend.
I don't know yet how to pass the port number. Most probably along the
hostname, maybe something like "host:port" for an absolute port (that
can be listed in /etc/services), or "host:+number" for a rig # relative to
the default port (0x20000099).
Comments?
Cheers,
Stephane
