When trying to install the older live distro I encounter a message 
"drakeinstall not found" or similar. As it took me 3 months to run the original 
client and learn all the peculiarities of FC4 I would like to do the server and 
new clients with the live distro install. I assume it doesnt matter that I'm 
putting a Mandriva distro onto an FC4 machine?

This problem might go away when i obtain the later server distro however I 
wanted to install and test what I have now. Some of the issues I'm looking for 
include:

Will I need a fixed IP addr. from the ISP? The ADSL line I use is not connected 
to my own ISP, will I need to change?

Once the testing of the newer modes has shown preferences, would it be best to 
have a server / client that will run and switch between psk63 , psk125 (or any 
better mode) and the 188- 2000bps as supported modes?

If I do get my server up & running, my next concern is to have it autostart 
from power interruptions etc, without keyboard / monitor etc.  I have already 
run a Skype system (set to autoanswer) this way for remote voice over HF access.
