I have been using gmfsk a lot http://gmfsk.connect.fi/
It supports many digital modes + CW, has tuning indicator, waterfall,
spectrum scope and best of all, it can extract QSO data from the
received text, create a log entry and send it to xlog. I have been
using the 0.7pre1 version for a long time now and it has never crashed
for me.
