Walt: Frank, Eric, and I have specfically answered all of your questions about the Linux support. It is completely controllable under Linux now especially for those who have no need for fancy radio GUI's. For those that need GUI's there ARE GUI's and more will be coming.
Roger Rehr has painted the road with crayola crayon especially for you: http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz but the Linux code does not have the polished presentation of the Windows version of code AND IT DOES NOT SUFFER FROM ITS LIMITATIONS. It is poised to take off now. There are several approaches to take such as dttsp-shell (available from Edson Pereira) or the java GUI done by John Melton or usSDR gui done by Jonathan Naylor. Frank and I are not interested in doing this GUI work. We are interested in support anyone who wants to do the GUI work.
