No authentication whatsoever. Could be done through domain restriction though. Please ask if stronger security needed.

Does not support more than one rig that share the same serial port (e.g. Icom's on a CI-V bus).

Report bugs to <hamlib-developer@users.sourceforge.net>.

I'm already aware of the bug in the previous section :-)
