Fldigi is showing me:

  Well, I decided to derormat my "client  computer and reinstall everything 
with newest software to see if that will help
  Thanks for help and patience

  Hi Robert,

when you connect to te server, this is what you should see in the monitor 
window:

If your server answers the connect with:
RX (2008-09-13 09:05Z): 0XkPI4TUE:24 PA0R:1024 55666
then you can be sure the server is working correctly.

There can be various reasons why you cannot connect:
* one of the processes is still hanging around when you start pskmail
* more than 1 copies of fldigi are running
* you have once started pskmail as root

To be sure that you start clean, do a 'ps aux | grep psk' and look if there are 
any 
rogue processes hanging around e.g.:
rein 6107 0.0 0.1 26268 6116 pts/1 S+ Sep12 0:02 /usr/bin/perl -w 
/usr/local/share/pskmail/psk_arq.pl
if that is the case do a 'killall psk_arq.pl' before you start pskmail.

Look at the ownership of .pskmail:
'cd .pskmail'
'ls -al '
If you see any files with owner root you should change ownership to user.

To see if there are any error messages from pskmail, do a 'touch debug' in the 
.pskmail directory before you start it.
You can ignore the GTK warnings at the beginning... 

Are you running the latest client (version 1.0)? If not, upgrade.

just a few thoughts...
