Boat Im aboard had AirMail working fine on a Windows PC...till the hard drive crashed a couple of days out of
Bermuda.
No problem, I happened to have a copy of Navigatrix (Linux +
software bundle for boats) on a USB drive. Load & go right. Wrong.
All loaded up and ran fine, but AirMail will not recognize the COM port (the set up Wizard wont find it, nor will Terminal Window).
Looking for some tech suggestions on resolving this issue quickly (leave for
Azores Tuesday).
Details:
Rig: ICOM802 + P4 Dragon (DR-7400)
modem, USB connection to PC
Software Configuration: Linux/WINE/Airmail
Com
ports: COM3 is mapped to /dev/ttyUSB0, permissions are wide open (rwxrwxrwx), 'nx' (default user under Navigatrix package) is in the 'dialout' group.
Suggestions how to get AirMail up and working again?
