You cannot be in the shack all the time... I wanted to use jpskmail from the
garden table, without moving the K3 and the antennas...

Fortunately jpskmail-0.3.7 now allows to connect to a reemote instance
of fldigi. To do this do the following:

    * start fldigi wih: 'fldigi --arq-server-address xx.xx.xx.xx, where 
xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of the machine it runs on
    * go to jpskmail edit->preferences->modem and fill in the host name 
xx.xx.xx.xx
    * hit the OK button...
    * restart jpskmail


jpskmail will now connect to the remote instance of fldigi. in my case it is 
running on an eeePC 701.
When I minimize fldigi the machine only needs a few Watts, and I combine it 
with a
file server function...

I can now operate jpskmail anywhere around the house as long as I am within 
range of the wifi access point.

You will have to wait for the release of jpskmail-0.3.7 to enjoy this 
feature... (testing...)
