I forgot about that.  That shows how much I've stayed away from ham
radio in recent years.  :-(  But, yes, The simulator mode would
probably be a very nice addition.

If XTLF is the replacement for the terminal based TLF, then it would be
*very nice* to have it included.  Even if it is just feeding one call
at a time, it is useful for people like me who have been used to other
programs and need some training.

I just had a look at that and it looks very nice.  Perhaps the author
could be invited to look at a Linux port?

Thanks for the good work and info, Rein.
