Soundmodem program on Suse 9.1
by Gale D. Wilkinson 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Does anyone have a link to some good docs on how to setup/configure soundmodem? I got the program via yast but am already running into problems. First thing I found is that the man pages are so minimal as to be useless. Second thing is when I try to run soundmodemconfig I get an immediate error about "can't open display". I have no idea where to start on this one. Should I get the latest sources from the web and compile them or is there a simple work around for this problem with the official package from Suse?

high speed data
by John Galt 16 Jul '04

Is anyone implimenting high speed (1Mb/sec or greater for end users) WAN networking under amateur radio and linux or has this just died on the vine for people's refusal to use anything faster than a shared 9600 baud channel on a porly architected network. -Galt -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Rusty Morse
by Keith Powell 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

After many years of being inactive, I want to get back into amateur radio and brush up my *VERY* rusty Morse. Can anyone recommend a good Morse training program which uses the sound card, please? I want to listen to it with headphones. Preferably one which also has a GUI rather than just using the command line, but I am not all that fussy about this. This Koch system sounds rather interesting. I could spend hours Googling and downloading several to try, but a recommendation would be better. Very many thanks 73 Keith G4JVX

Netrom-Serial Configuration?
by root 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

I wish to connect a SuSe linux computer, complete with the AX25 ham radio stuff properly configured and working, to a stack of standalone TheNet+ TNC's. The TNC's are connected together via a diode matrix. In some of the NOS releases, it is possible to configure a port to connect the a "netrom-serial" port to allow use of only one serial port in the machine, to connect to an unused port on the diode matrix. Is that possible with LinuxNode? If so, does anyone have the configuration? I am setting up a SuSE Linux ham radio computer for my local club and they use a stack of TheNet+ nodes on a diode matrix. It would be extremely handy to only have to utilize one serial port on the linux box to reach the various radio ports via the diode matrix. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. 73, Gary, W7NTF

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.) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Using SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
