Actually, if these things are networked somehow to feed packets
around, you could send commands via that method and skip the DTMF
stuff for PTT.  Assuming you met other FCC rules regarding control
of remote transmitters of course.  You might still want it for
remote booting though, in which case you could implement both
methods so you have a backup.

SSH/OpenSSH works well for remote control if you have a network
connection.  Gives you an encrypted compressed connnection to the
remote end.  I use it all the time.
