I doubt it. Virtually all remote control programs run on Windows. You
could try running Win07 under an emulator like Wine but I suspect you'd
have to write your own USB driver.

Even worse (or worst?). While researching (i was trying to run the Icom
pcr-1500 controlling software under WINE), I found out that wine has no
visibility of the USB ports (they're working on it, yet as of today no USB
ports).

Someone suggested me to try it under VmWare, a little bit oversized as a
solution... but worth a try. I haven't tried it yet, though.
