Greetings folks,
I'm somewhat new to PSKMail and have a couple of questions about the
flow;
Some of you (VE7SUN WB5CON) will recognize me from their logs, no
doubt... :)
I've made a few attempts to connect to a couple of hosts that I can
hear beaconing, but without much success.
In both cases I've gotton "connected" and then my side sends a
string, which I presume is whatever action I've chose (APRS Beacon,
get headers..etc..) but I've not made it past this point. I'll see
the remote side sending back a single string, which I assume to be an
ACK of some sort.
Can somebody give a more detailed outline of the flow between client/
server for me?
Additionally;
It seems that fldigi source README's talk about pskmail, but, only
the PA0R provided fldigi binaries actually work with pskmail?
In mail mode, I assume the remote service merely acts as a proxy for
a pop account that I provide. How is mail sent by the remote host,
as, this would obviously require relay privileges on an internet-
facing mailserver.
And, lastly; does anyone have problems with fldigi *not* wanting to
save all of it's config? Specifically for me in the interfaces
section, I find it nearly impossible to get it to actually save my
PTT config. I finally resorted to editing the fldigi.def's by hand
by doing a diff against another fldigi.def and the XML file so I
could determine which fields required which number.
A strace on fldigi during execution wasn't overly helpful as I saw
writes for exactly what ended up in the flatfile, but, not what I had
necessarily chosen in the Interfaces config; Though, through my own
hackery, that is now working. Just wondering if anybody else had
seen this behavior.
