The ptc-II by SCS is a bit expensive, but you can not beat the
performance. On HF, it will print what you can not hear. If you dont
believe me, ask the fellows who use and swear by them. A driver for
the ptc-II would be a great benefit, unfortunately, I do not write code.

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.
