[Ham-Linux] Ham-Linux list will stay put - reccomends

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I've run flpuppy on a couple different computers and all it took for the 
sound card interface to work on one of them was a line to radio cable 
for the FT-857. A friend gave me a USB rig blaster cable he wasn't able 
to get to work and it worked on the windoze version of fldigi, but 
poorly. It was much harder to get to work than with the simple cable. I 
only worked with it for receive and it was acting like it was overloaded 
and causing distortion that I didn't have with the simple cable. flpuppy 
can run from the CD rom taking up almost no computer drive space unless 
you want it to and all in RAM. I comes with a workable browser, wifi 
interface software, usb modem software that worked at home with my 
Verizon USB modem, phone line modem, ethernet by wire, office 
substitute, and email program. All of them compact. I think there are 
rig control and logging programs with it but I've not used them. I'm a 
paper logger even for contests. After 55 years of paper logging I'm 
happy with the reliability I've had with paper and paper makes no RF 
hash in the receiver like too many computers do.
