Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I do have the complete setup working.
Using XMLRPC is a smart way of controlling the radio remotely. When radio
control is working in fldigi, there are many options, it is working in
pskmail. fldigi can use xmlrpc to control a radio. This is to be used when
fldigi talks to other software to control the radio in the software,
We now talk to FLdigi with XMLRPC to let fldigi control the radio.
The FAQ on the website is not complete.
http://pskmail.wikispaces.com/FAQ+How+to+run+jpskmail+remotely+from+fldigi
Not only do you need to start fldigi with --arq-server-address xx.xx.xx.xx,
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of the machine it runs on
Also you need to add the part --xmlrpc-server-address xx.xx.xx.xx, where
xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of the machine it runs on
ARQ part is for the data fldigi <--->pskmail,
XMLRPC part is for Radio----fldigi<--->pskmail
So 2 thing need to be configured. ARQ and xmlrpc on the startup.
Thanks for the help, I updated the FAQ page.
Johan.
