This is the error message from gMFSK for instance: *** opensnd: open: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy *** Is there a way to overcome this problem? Soundmodem doesn't produce an error message and appears to function except that no sound is generated. I probably shouldn't mention this; the equivalent Microsoft Windows application works without any problems at all. Still, I would prefer to use the Linux Amateur Radio applications since I use Linux for everything else. -- Regards, Phil.
