You need only have a program that can play audio files, and tell xastir what that program is. I recommend esdplay, which is in the esd-clients (or some similarly named) package. It might even be installed already on your Kubuntu system. You need not compile anything new into xastir for regular audio alarms, only for speech synthesis. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
