Omar, good evening.
It is a program that uses PSK (31, 63, 125, 250) . It can use regular PSK
for keyboard chats but you can also decide to use PSK with ARQ if you want to
send a text file or email where accuracy is important. The software works only
under Linux, so the authors have developed a boot disc that one uses in a
Windows PC. You burn the ISO file to a CD and insert it in a CD ROM drive, the
Linux operating system boots up. You select a keyboard setting for you country
and a video monitor setting. When the software boots up, you need to select
FL-digi and go to the CONFIG area, insert your callsign. In the config area you
can also choose your soudncard settings and PTT/rig control settings. If you
want to use the ARQ side of things, you click on FLARQ, when it boots up you
must also insert your callsign in it's config area.

I too downloaded the .iso yesterday and immediately burned a CD to boot
both of my computers. While I do not expect Linux to be able to properly
drive my Samsung SyncMaster 225BW monitor to its native resolution, I
can usually get by with one of the other resolutions. Even though not
acceptable for normal use, it can work well enough for experimental use.
The problem with both computers is that the program tends to lock up and
crash or if it does key up I get a kind of machine gun sound in the
audio coming from the sound card. This was also true of a previous
version. Almost like an interruption in the stream. Now the curious
thing is that in the past one one boot disk I was testing had another
digital program which worked quite well. Could I possibly be correct
that it was Digipan running under Wine? Even the audio settings were
right on with that program, but on the same boot disk the main flDigi
program would not run properly. Has anyone else had this problem?
In order for PSKmail or NBEMS to even have any realistic chance at being
used here in the U.S., it simply has to run under Windows at this time.
Dual boots or Boot disk approaches are not adequate for practical use,
although they can give you a feel for the program. Hopefully many of you
are having better luck than I am.
With a Windows version you could avoid the downsides of Linux. Although
ten years from now it may be a different story, it was about ten years
ago that I predicted that Linux OS would be a major desktop player in 5
years. You could say that I was a bit wrong on that call:(
