[Xastir] AGW under WINE ?

[George Karayannis]

My computing skills being as they are (above average u s e r), I have not had the pleasure of getting soundmodem to work tx/rx so far, 
thus being denied the pleasure of replacing my aging APRS I-gate Tosh with agw and ui on it, with a Linux box

what gives me comfort is the fact that prior to Christmas (and a few tens of hours in front of a laptop), what I knew of Linux was its five letters,
while after that I knew enough to have all the office machines converted from XP to Ubuntu 8.10

if only soundmodem more intuitive, to the non-programmer radio amateur
