PSKmail is a narrow band mail delivery system for use by radio hams via short wave (HF) communication.

Rein Corpus recently made the following announcement:

NEWS 12 September 2008

* Release of client version 1.0
* Release of server version 0.7.16
* New puppy CD released

After 3 weeks in beta the client has now been released. Some small tweaks
were made. The ‘clear bulletins’ menu command works now. Also the
beacon period setting has been changed. The period sets the statistical
value of beacons per unit of time… timing is controlled by a random
generator so there is even less chance of tx-ing on top of somebody else.
Setting beacon period to 60 will send statistically 1 beacon per hour.
This package will also run on the ASUS PC701 and PC900 mini notebooks.

The new server features a telnet agent which can be used to connect to
any telnet server on the internet. This includes gateways into the packet
network, and packet clusters. The new telnet feature is meant for use on
dedicated servers, e.g. to make a private link from a remote contest site
to a dx cluster. Pse do NOT use it on the APRS frequencies, as you will
block the frequency. Getting your mail from the packet box on a
dedicated traffic qrg is of course possible.

After a lot of work, aided by Rolf DK4XI and INTERMAR, there is now a
puppy 4 live CD with pskmail 1.0 and fldigi 3.02. Recommended memory
size is 512 MB, the CD will run in RAM without blocking the CDROM drive.

INTERMAR (pskmail.de) provides a package to generate a pskmail/puppy4
USB stick on a windows(TM) machine. PA3GFE has found a tweak to
run the stick on a PC901 ASUS Mini notebook with windows.

Happy PSKmailing!
