Monitoring would probably work using a sound card, but transmitting
is a different matter. "Advanced" hf protocols like pactor have very
strict timing requirements (this is what makes noise reduction by
adding/subtracting multiple retransmits possible), so emulating pactor
probably wouldn't be a strength of linux. (Or have you already found
some ingenious way of handling the turnaround, Thomas? ;)
Otoh, if you just want to connect a pactor controller to one of your
serial ports any terminal program should do...
