The pskmail server uses rigctl (in the hamlib-utilities package) to control the 
rig.

You can test it from a terminal with 'rigctl -m <rigype> -s <speed> -r <device> 
F 10145000'.

Rigctl in hamlib has no function in pskmail.

With respect to frequency accuracy, when you receive a signal from e.g. WB5CON 
look at the 
rx frequency value in fldigi. That should be 1000 Hz +- 5 Hz. If not you have 
to shift the VFO frequency until 
you get the right value.

There is an array in pskmailrc.pl where you can tell the tx to shift a certain 
amount of Hz:
@freq_corrections = qw (-5 90 -0 -5 5); # trx frequency correction
