Hi Terry, to receive inbound messages link to a server first (Ctrl-L). This works in unconnected mode, you need no database entry for it. Disabling APRS beacons should work, check mif you have a small (zeroo-byte) file called .doposit in the ~/.pskmail directory, that enables the beacons in the server. It is also possible to disable beacons in the server. For best pleasure use client pskmail-0.9.3 and fldigi-2.10.3, now also on the new puppy release... 73, Rein PA0R -from the Ham Radio Parking Lot in Friedrichshafen Germany via pskmail -
