Hi Jack,

Sorry to hear that it was that frustrating.

Unfortunately your experience is not a single occurrence I am sure. When I
have made presentations to Ham club members I had great interest
and enthusiasm.

My pile of 20 burnt CD with Pskmail disappeared quickly and I had good
questions from the participants.

But unfortunately not many servers station on the air.

From my direct experience with the ones I helps all of them but one
was comfortable with Linux.

Thank you for your honest feedback.

I hope we can get to an easier setup and get you on the air with a server.

All the best.

73, John


John,

I have lurked here for a long time and watched you, Rein and Per, along with
many others put an immense effort into PSKmail. I had a go in the earlier
days, and after many Puppy CDs, which now reside in the paddock next to my
house, I gave it away.
Not because of PSKmail, but because of Linux, of which I tried several
flavours along the way.  Not having the knowledge of an ever changing O/S
was the problem.......it was always a situation of where my problems
were.......in the O/S or in PSKmail?  I could get it to work sometimes not
others, I changed machines and then other different problems arose and I
guess in the finish that was the reason for my personal abandonment of
PSKmail, at the time.
I still read the list msgs and maybe will pluck up the courage to have
another go, one day.

73,
