YAM question

YAM question

[Phil]

Hello All,

I'm keen to at least listen to some of the satellites that are transmitting 
9600 baud packets. Since I can't compile soundmodem .7, because of missing 
header files, and version .4 compiles but no longer receives after an upgrade 
to Mandrake 9.0 I thought I go the hardware route.

Although the cost of the YAM is considerably less than a TNC it is still more 
that I'd like to spend. However, I will go ahead if it's likely to work.

Has anyone got YAM working with Mandrake 9.0 and what are the likely problems 
that I may face?

I have a home-built Baycom style modem that has not given me any trouble for 
the past 8 years. So perhaps the YAM driver will be just as easy to get 
going.

Isn't it possible to get the soundmodem working? Especially .7's missing
header files. What about using the Baycom you already have?
