That was the problem. I made sure that I started FLDigi before the
server and it seems to be OK now. Being armed with this snippet of
information will allow me to create a more robust server that actually
works ;-).

Does anyone have any objections if I add a note in the FAQ about how
FLDigi only gets correctly initialized during server startup? In effect
that means the flowwing :-
A) FLDigi MUST be started before pskmail_server.
B) If FLDigi is restarted for any reason, pskmail_server must also be
re-started?.

If the above two points are appropriate, I will add them to the FAQ.

Thanks for the help. Once again, I had the answer in quick time from
this list!
