Hi John,
I am not aware of a graphical tool to do this, although it may exist.
Open a shell (terminal) window and try a couple of commands:
ls -l /dev/ttyS*
This will list the serial ports that linux has defined. It will also be useful
in permissions questions.
For each port listed, try the command:
echo hellohello > /dev/ttyS0
but modify the zero for each numbered port. BTW the first port (/dev/ttyS0) is
like com1 in Windows.
The responses tell you a lot... if the port is there and working you will see
no error, it will send the hellohello to the port. If the port does not exist
you should see a message about an i/o error. If you do not have permission to
use the port you should see a message that you do not have permission to write
to the port.
Let us know what you find.

PS: in case you are not familiar with it there is a great package manager tool
called Synaptic under the System - Administration menu. This would get you a
much improved fldigi.

Hello Alan
Thanks for the return. I have been going around and around trying to get this
thing working. I tried to download FLDIGI through the program downloader but it
would not open due to a corrupt file. I am brand new to Linux and it has been
diferent. I realy didn't have any trouble down loading this version of FLDIGI
and it is decoding okay but I can not get the com port to key the Buxcom
interface. I did make sure the comports are there and on in BIOs and I even
found the com ports in Ubuntu but do not know what to put into the address box
in configure menu and not sure that the ports are turned on. I actualy swaped
for this computer to run the whole PSKMAIL sweet of programs. It is a older
composet of parts. I am not much of a programer but If you can give me a string
of menus I can fallow.
Thanks
