A friend of mine uses FBB5.15 via Baycom modem + TFPCX driver. We wonder if it is possible to run BPQ software in addition of actual status. Is there a way to run that combination with BPQ software? The next trouble is recognized in FBB5.15 when a user tries LIST-command within FBBDOS. Then FBB exits and re-boots itself immediately (?!). This problem didn't happen for a couple of years and started at once. Of course, all connected channels become disconnected as well as forward activities. What to do?

I just picked up a multimode controller (MFJ-1278B) and would like to experiment with HF FAX. (Just receiving for now.) Has anyone had any success at using FAX? Does anyone know of any good frequencies to use? Where hams generally hang out? (Like 14.230 for SSTV.) Thanks.
