I use now wxtoimg on SuSE10.0 on an old pIII-500. The antenna is mounted on a roof but i have serious problems receiving, causing the images to be black in black for now (and no idea why, any idea wellcome ). As second option i plan to try wxget. Under sourceforge there is a project called groundstation but i did not test it now. re, wh Melvin G.
