The new beta (5) is ready for download/testing, it is at 
http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/ham/pskmail/puppy/

I included gpsd (for supporting GPS) and the unix mail client to read the mail.

I could not test gpsd because puppy does not support my USB/RS232 converter.
Start gpsd with 'gpsd /dev/ttyXXX' before starting pskmail if you want to test 
the GPS.

Evolution has not been included because of size, and there is no package 
available for 
puppy (also no sendmail or postfix running (?)).

Most bugs, especially the working of the DCD have been fixed, and I have made 
icons on 
the desktop, making operation basically a 2-click affair. Pskmail needs to run 
from a terminal 
and that is now started by clicking the icon on the desktop. Running pskmail 
without a 
terminal will kill the X server (restart with xwin).

I kept the size under 100 MB, and it runs nicely in RAM on my 192 MB Compaq 
700M test laptop.
