John, from my playing around (admittedly ...just a little" PSK125 and PSK250 with ARQ work quite well. Under very poor HF conditions one could drop down to PSK31 with ARQ for brief messages but the speed would be very slow. PSK with ARQ does work . I agree with Rick and John about Windows being useful but I can say that it does not take a whole lot to get a Linux boot disc to work, a lot less than getting my old TNC out and booting up packet! -- Andy K3UK www.obriensweb.com (QSL via N2RJ)
