With that said, there isn't a native Outlook for Packet application out there like Outpost. A buddy of mine did get that working under Wine after a bit of work. If you're interested in finding out what he did to get it working, I can get you in touch with him. For me, I use a combination of: Packet TNC - HF: Soundmodem software TNC in KISS mode - VHF: Kenwood D710 Applications: - HF: fldigi / WSJT (I'm also working on setting up pskmail - VHF packet: Linpac I have a bit of a hacky Journal following all this that I hope to clean up.
