At one time I had linpsk running on OpenBSD, so it probably wouldn't
be too hard to get running on FreeBSD. A screenshot is at:

Is that the display you were looking for? http://linpsk.sourceforge.net/

Jack That explains a lot. I understand a little more now. What Unix
Jack software do you use for TNC purposes? I see a bunch of Windows
Jack support, but there's no obvious documentation or example code
Jack for Unix boxes. I have read that the RigBlaster comes with CDs
Jack of software, but there's no specifications out there that I can
Jack see.

Bob I don't know about FreeBSD, but most of the soundcard digital
Bob modes are supported in Linux. See http://radio.linux.org.au for
Bob appropriate links. To emulate a TNC, use soundmodem (originally
Bob a kernel driver, now a standalone user program which talks to the
Bob sound drivers) in conjunction with kernel AX.25 support (plus
Bob libax25, ax25-apps and ax25-tools).

Kernel drivers are bad news for me. I'll look into the user-level
soundmodem to see how it works and if anyone's already tried to make
it go on FreeBSD.

It's not really on topic for rradm, but I'd also like to hear from
anyone who has any Linux/Unix software to generate those pretty
"waterfall" displays I've seen on Windows software packages.

REALLY late but for the record here is a list of FreeBSD ham software I
compiled.
