I use rsynth-2.0 -- the linux driver included is 8 bit only (and needs
a one line fix for it to work with SuSE). I have hacked together a
16-bit OSS (compatability) driver for it if you are interested. I
have plans to write a native alsa and arts driver for it. The voices
that festival produces are _slightly_ more natural sounding, but
festival takes several seconds to start up on my K6-2/500 whereas
rsynth starts instantaneously even on a K5/100.
I used to use saytime to "chime" the time, but it writes headerless
mu-law files to /dev/audio, and that causes SuSE-9.0 to hang solid
looping, saying the time over and over, and the computer becomes
totally unresponsive (an alsa OSS compatibility bug I have been too
lazy to report). I now use a perl script to call rsynth to chime the
quarter hour (also available if you are interested, but it is such a
simple script I doubt there will be any takers.)

Hallo OMs!
I'm Peter, DL3VPZ from Dresden. Today I've installed the gpsk31.
I have no problems to receive psk31-station and I also can say "F11" for
sending my own text, but than I have a problem: There's no other way to
come back to the receive-modus than to close the program!!! :-(
Do you have a hint, what this can be? An other dig-mode-programm (qsstv)
is doing a good job switching transmit/receive...
The button "Abort transmit" isn't highlighted, so I can't press ist!
Thanks for helping me!

Hallo to all and have a nice 2004!
Is anybody out there using qsstv? I have two main problems with it:
1. There's IMHO no possibility to put in a coloured text in a picture to
be sent!?!
2. How are you creating your banners? Is there an easier way than to use
gimp or so?
Thanks!
