Hi David, I know of no *nux based native application that has been offered to the world yet as ready for use. There is a package for developers that Charles Brain and another fellow placed on SourceForge under GNU called LinuxALE that dates back over 5 years now, which I have not seen anyone make use of yet as to developing a *nix application.
A number of MARS members are running MARS-ALE under WINE, here my Linux boxes are not up to doing so as they are all older IBM PC 325 servers, two for IRLP nodes running Red Hat 6.2 that I really need to go and update, one is a 7.3 box and the other is a 9.x server, but nothing above 300Mhz. Since I got back into programming I have only been developing code for MS-Windows, although I keep thinking about a Linux box as a stand alone modem/controller to select for use by MARS-ALE, were said box would have no GUI, it would just be a modem/controller, a monitor, keyboard and pointing device would not even be needed. Then again, I also think about a RTOS on a single board CPU or MCU modem/controller as well, its just the price point of such new and time all around to make things happen. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 06:26 AM 10/3/2007, you wrote: >Hi All...have been reading with some interest and some wondering about >this program ALE....i know it is written for Windows but im wondering >if an attempt has been made to port it to Linux....yes there are a >large number of Hams worldwide who operate with Linux in one form or >another...ive been using Linux distros for about 6 years and i would >not go back to Windows...am i being left out of part of the digital >reveloution in Ham Radio because im not in the so called main stream... > >David VK4BDJ
