Wrong choice of words; I should have said "I'm not able to get
it to work." Maybe?? HI..
I have too many notes but at this point I am here: Have the
binaries fldigi3.0 that came with the PSKMail package and pskmail1.0 in
user space--in my case /home/w8mch.. Invoking, from either Xterm or
rxvt; fldigi3.0--I set the mode to psk250 and the modem config to PTT
/dev/ttyS1 and RTS with PortAudio checked.. This creates the .fldigi
files.. Shutting that down I startx again with Xterm or rxvt and invoke:
fldigi3.0 & pskmail1.0 <enter> and fldigi appears as normal, a small
wait, then pskmail appears but the xterm window repeats "Sound error:
Connection timed out" the waterfall stops and the rig goes PTT.. (I have
Vol and Pcm turned off, or a dummy load connected.) A semi lock up
happens with the Sound error: line repeating forever it seems..
Trying; same versions; but using separate Xterms for fldigi and
pskmail; same as the 2nd xterm reports the psk1.0 "Progam start"
preceeded by the time and date of course.. Waterfall locked/stopped..
I've, also, tried the same above with FLDigi3.02.npa and
3.03.npa binaries; same..
Does this all make sense?? TIA Appreciate!!

Did you want or need a newline after the &?? In all cases; if I
press enter after the ampersand, fldigi will run... Hmmmmm. Bash '&' means
in background. Is it normal running PSKMail to have it's window only on
the screen?? I've been invoking 'fldigi & pskmail' on the same line,
except when trying the two Xterm approach.. Ugh..
