Rein, I did finally get your Puppy ISO to work on my laptop, it was your latest Ham Puppy version I downloaded today , Fldigi fired up ok, with the Tigertronics SL USB interface. Question...Can PSKmail use PSK31 mode? My reason is that I only have a 10 watt ICOM 703 radio, for my portable ops. So......signals are not strong, and I have no need for higher data rates of PSK250. The reason for all this is that I am going on a motorcycle trip in South Africa, where there are not many stations, so I will probably be communicating to others outside the country, IF there are any PSKmail operators I can hear :-) My reasoning for trying to get around PSKmail was to try and avoid carrying a laptop. With the old type TNCs, you can use an AA battery powered RS232 terminal to drive them. I have one of these, works great on Packet TNCs. Also on Amtor, Pactor and PSK31 with SCS PTC-IIEx TNC

IF I use my Palm IIIx, I have the "On Line" comms program (now discontinued) from Mark Space in the U.S. It has macros and a few other features too. NONE of the above can use soundcard software. The good thing about them all is that they run on AA or AAA batteries :-) 73s Jack VK4JRC At 08:06 PM 1/7/2008, Rein wrote: >Wrong again... > >* Every pskmail server has a local mailbox, so you can operate it >without the internet connection. >E,g, in some countries it is still forbidden to connect a radio to >the internet, those are the countries >which allow SSB on 30 mtrs by the way.
