Rein - It appears that the server is working. The thing that threw me off track is that when the server comes up under Puppy, the transmitter sends something. Under Ubuntu it does not. Not sure why. I did notice that it succesfully sent the beacon at x minutes after the hour when it was scheduled to beacon, so it appears all is well. I am running the latest server - 0.5.4. I am running with my local ISP using POP and SMTP for now. Will let you know how it looks after K4ZLE trys again in an hour or so. -- 73 - Bill - N8ET Kanga US www.kangaus.com 419-423-4604 (Kanga) 419-423-5643 (home)
