Oleg, 

the servers are not multi-mode, but they can be scheduled to listen in a 
specific mode.
That means we could make a special channel for you on some servers, like e.g.
SM0RWO and VE7SUN (Vancouver). The servers can be scheduled per minute.

I would suggest to use PSK63, as PSK31 is VERY frequency sensitive. I have had 
very good
results with PSK63 on long range (2000 km from southern Spain to Stockholm), 
and that 
was only on 30 meters. We have more bands available now...

Please sign up with the pskmail mailing list to contact our server ops...

Rolf can tell you more about the availability of the windows version. You can 
also use 
a puppy linux live CD which runs in RAM....

We will help you wherever we can.
