I too would like to get soundmodem up and running so as to be able to run 1200 baud packet from my laptop (IBM thinkpad T23) and have done a small amount of searching but have not found any documentation on soundmodem, or at least so little that it leaves me wondering how to make things work... So my question is, is there a website or a how-to/info page/man page that would help a newcomer to Linux AX25 packet and soundmodem? I finally figured out that you have to be running an X session as root to run soundmodemconfig and so I think I got a config file created, but am not sure what to do next as far as running as a regular user to allow me to connect to another packet station etc. I used to use the AEA "PCPackratt" software that came with my PK900 when I had that but have since sold it a number of years back when my interest in packet had waned, but now as I don't run M$ products at home anymore and this thread had sparked my interest again I am at a loss as to whether or not there is a similar program that gives the same functionality ? FWIW I am running SuSE 8.2pro on the Thinkpad and it runs great. Sorry if I am missing something obvious and tia for any help that comes my way :^) Douglas Cole N7BFS Spokane IRLP node 3250 owner AMSAT#26182 , K2 # 544 http://www.users.qwest.net/~cdoug3 Registered Linux user # 188922 -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
