Hi Jason and welcome, I guess you must have succeeded in downloading that cd as I have no active downloads at the moment. I also use pskmail when I am mobile and also when sailing or in a cabin on the Aland islands. It works great and I always use an Yaesu FT-817 so just QRP as well. Great info on fldigi, I just wonder why I have not seen it before. I got a message from the author (Dave, W1HKJ) saying that the IPC mechanism is already in place so I will test that asap. If I get it working, which I don't see why I should not, then I will look to include it on the live distros. Hmmm, I havent touched Red Hat 7 in a lot of years. I did install oracle database servers on Red hat 7, that must have been somewhere near 2000 or even before that. I cant say if its possible. Well, anything is possible but within reasonable amounts of effort is another matter. I really dont know. >..or is there a way to access the server manually to send messages to the server from a remote station to send email. I don't quite follow you there. Can you rephrase that ? I'm just home from the pub here, a friend at work just became a grandfather so we had a few beers... So, I'm probably not as quick as I should be at the moment... Thank you for coming along and testing the software, the more the merrier is absolutely true! 73 de Per, sm0rwo
