Rein, You are of course correct, and I do mention PSKmail quite often, but think of it as a mail system. If this was on MS-OS, it would likely become quite popular. I do plan to eventually have Linux again someday, although quite frankly, Linux OS is just not good enough for folks like me who expect something at least equal to MS-OS in terms of driver support, quality of on screen fonts, multimedia support, color management support, etc.
It is getting a lot better, but I just can not switch over and a dual boot system leaves a lot to be desired. A Live disk is pretty hopeless for practical use, but can be useful to see how things are progressing. I recently tried Open Linspire, openSUSE, and Kubuntu and they all had problems. One thing that Linux simply has to get right is being able to access the other files you already have on your system. Interestingly, only OpenLinpire could do that from a live disk. Also, being able to change the monitor scereen resolution with a live disk. Hopefully, someone will come up with not only a Windows version of an ARQ PSK, but also versions of MFSK16 and also even faster modes such as PSK220 which screams right along if you have reasonably good conditions. 73, Rick, KV9U Rein Couperus wrote: >>In order to have a really robust and accurate mode, I would like to see >>an ARQ mode 500 Hz or less.
