Hi all,
PSK125 worked great during my testing last night. I tortured it quite a
lot with 68 emails, I read the newspaper on the web and stress tested it
with long sessions of downloads etc. So, that could be one step in the
right direction for you.
Ok on DRM, I knew there was some problem with it. I read what the windrm
group had done to it so now I know a bit more about it. They say its GPL
but I couldn't find the source anywhere, I wanted to have a look and see
how big a job a port would be. I'll ask for the source.
The author of RFSM2400 has included an arq protocol, unclear which, and
for normal qso's you use that. I was hoping he would allow it to be used
as a modem and it looks like he will enable that mode. I don't think he
will use the GPL license, when I asked about it he answered: "there is BIG
thoughts regarding a GPL license on the source :(". Its his software and I
fully respect his decision on that. Its also a windows only software and
he was clear that he would not port it to linux. I have had success
running it under wine but I'd really like to see a native application here
(preferably using a GPL license as well).
I did test Q15X25 a few years ago. I haven't tried it since and I don't
know much abt it now. I saw there was a net called skipnet on 17 meters
that used it, wonder if they could provide some info on how well it works
?

I will upgrade the live cd now that I have psk125 working. As you
mentioned popular windows software I have a question. Would it be good to
include any of the popular ham applications on the client cd ? That is if
their license is useable for such a move ? I could probably make them work
with wine, my problem there is that I never use windows so I don't know
what to include (help needed). Perhaps windrm will work with wine, I'll
test that right away.
