[Leaplist] PSK31 in Linux

I've used gmfsk in Gnome with my Icom R75 with some success decoding
navtex, and cw. The native wefax software in the Debian/Ubuntu repos
are decent, though I admit I'm an "armchair" hobbyist at best, when
the whimsy seizes me, so YMMV.

Typically though I'll run MMTTY under wine for receiving SSTV, as it
just seems more capable of detecting signal. I use the CI-V to usb
interface from these folks:
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/usbciv/ with a little tweaking to get
wine to see it as a serial interface, but it's not difficult.

I run ubuntu Karmic on an Aspire Netbook and I get by okay.
