Start pskmail with the 'pskmail' script. If you have problems keeping the
connection alive, look at the frequency first. PSK250 needs to be within
+- 20 Hz of the other station.
Lock the tx frequency on Fldigi and switch AFC on.
Look at the amplitude and quality of the tx signal, you will see it at the
waterfall. Normally you want just a bit of ALC.

You don't need to edit the user database. The user can do that by uploading
his record to the server via pskmail.
Goto edit->Mail options, enter your data and save.
Then connect to the server and do Edit->Update server.
The server will say 'Updated record for KB2PNM'.
If your data is not correct, i.e. the server can not find your mail
account upon connect, the server will nag you with "Please update your
record'.
Lastly,
NEVER run a server or client as ROOT.
NEVER run a server and a client on the same machoine at the same time.
Hope this helps, and when this works pse add this to the FAQ on the wiki.
73,
Rein PA0R
