Just tried it here. No go, but plenty of error messages. I am calling N1MM 
with wine version 0.9.44 from a native Win-XP partition. N1MM works OK under 
XP.

There are several contest loggers now for Linux. From a CW op's viewpoint, the 
only thing wrong with all of them - including my on qle - is with the CW 
buffering. You can't edit a callsign as it is being sent. Well, you can...but 
the typed-ahead changes don't make it through into the CW being sent.

So...you must have the full, correct callsign all typed out before you can 
come back to the DX. This often adds to the pregnant pause you hear with a 
lot of contesters.

The nice thing about CT, TR etc is that you can just type in a partial prefix, 
hit the reply key (F5, whatever) and get the show on the road. The callsign 
can be completed as the CW goes out, as long as you stay ahead.

How this can be implemented under Linux I am not sure. I guess changes would 
need to be made to cwdaemon, and perhaps a near real-time kernel is needed... 
Another solution is to move cwdaemon to hardware (winkey) or, preferably, an 
open-source version of winkey.
