Per, Connecting over radio requires arq and that protocol is a bit difficult to handtype. That is what I had in mind. I was just wondering if it were possible, thought it would be an option just in case there were computer problems and you couldn't access pskmail software. I believe they ended up removing tha HD and installing on another pc (and then moved it back). I will be going that route, I just ordered the adapter for my computer, can't beat 2 dollars. As soon ast it comes I will play around with the installs, will try the mandriva server cd then see if I can install fldigi also. I really enjoy playing with different operatin systems especially linux, because there are a lot of options and you are in control of it mostly. Just wish I could full get away from windows but there are some really good programs for that OS, I am hoping to get my setup operation soon, within a week. It will really be nice once I get High speed internet, but I have been waiting since September. My punishment for moving from the city out to the middle of nowhere!! hihi.
