I will second that. I would love to see this running on Linux, but then all of the guys at Flex have been aware of that for years.
It looks like dttsp could be broken out of the equation and communicate with the display and other routines over the network or network sockets. It may be that Frank and Bob have already done some investigating implementing that in Erlang or some other language that would be able to better distribute the tasks for the SDR routines. The firewire interface taking the blame now for not having it running on Linux is a pretty flimsy excuse. I was able to get that out of the way a couple of years ago. That said, with the way the code is written around .net it will be a substantial job to port it to other platforms. I am not familiar with Windows .Net programming, or the mono development platform, so that is a bit of a hurdle.
