I am looking at another modem manufacturer for HF operation: Halcomm
(http://www.halcomm.com/). Their modems natively use the CLOVER
protocol, but also have a "P-mode", which is claimed to be 100%
compatible with the PACTOR protocol. So hopefully one can kill two
birds with one stone. The external modem is around $400 and about $300
for the internal PC card.
They too only have code for Windows, however as soon I can get hold of
some of these modems, I will be working on a packet driver for Linux.
