hi Fred,

client should be even easier than server, as everything is already built into 
fldigi.

when you connect the 7200 to the computer, the soundcard is recognized as 
USB audio codec.

Set Data on, and D-Mod = U.

Use the USB M filter with 600 Hz bandwidth, and set the sweet spot to 1500 Hz.
You can adjust the passband with the PBT to put the 1500 Hz in the centre of 
the 
passband.

On fldigi, use Rig Cat  control for the 7200, and check CAT command for PTT.
USB port will be /dev/ttyUSB0, with 19200 Bd.

That should be it, the audio output level can be set with USB lvl on the 7200.

73,

Rein PA0R
