Hi All,
As I haven't seen ANY X terminal emulator that doesn't rely upon the kernels ax25 I've put one together. It's a simple terminal emulator that, at the moment anyway, does not use kiss nor host but rather plain and simple terminal mode. I use it with a PK-232MBX so it's got "speedbuttons" for the modes of that TNC but those buttons will be editable to suit other controllers. It's working nicely for me but I'm wondering if any other ham is looking for this kind of thing ? I'm thinking of implementing FBB-style forwards and there are a number of other things I'd like to have in it. It's written in kylix2 and if anyone wants to contribute then please mail me. I'll put a gpl-license on it if anyone wants to help out.
A really simple screenshot is on:

Please forgive if this is a dumb question - but I notice the morse option on the menu. Does this program actually decode morse, or is it just communicating with the TNC so it decodes morse?

I've had a hard time finding any decent morse decoding programs (similar to cwget) for linux.

No, sri but that gets the TNC into morse mode only (sends "Morse" command for a PK-232). The tnc does all decoding. There are a few decoders here:

morsetree is not really a morse decoder. It gets letters from tty input (like _ .... .. ...)

I think I have tried RSCW too - and it has rudimentery abilities,
but wasn't a finished program. I'll double check though.

Thanks.
