Rein, I have still been getting crashes off and on with fldigi with both the server and the client. So today I downloaded the flmon.pl.tar and I have it running on the 220 Mhz server. Later, I will also install it on the 20 meter server. It is running perfectly and I can see it killing and restarting just as it should. I don't think that it is possible to run with the client, is it? After it starts it runs in the X Terminal. What is the difference between the regular terminal and the X Terminal? If I were to shut down the system then restart it tomorrow, my routine is to first bring up fldigi with sudo fldigi ( that engages the usb port) then pskmail_server in a second terminal. If I do that will the flmon.pl start automatically, or must I start it manually? It is fantastic that I don't have to worry about one of the servers locking up anymore. Thanks Rein. Very 73, Glenn WB2LMV
