Hi Per,
I've made some tests with Java PSKmail client but it
seems that there's a problem with the communication to
fldigi.
It's not possible to change the digimode from PSKmail
client and there are no characters displayed in the
"receiving frame". I've tried the same fldigi version
with the Perl PSKmail client (Version 1.0.3c), which
worked.
Here I have the following environment:
Linux version 2.6.15-27-386 (buildd@terranova) (gcc
version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Fri
Dec 8 17:51:56 UTC 2006
fldigi-3.04BE
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
