    There is no direct support available. Like Stephane said, hamlib
    can control PTT through the parport.

    Direct support would be nice and it shouldn't be difficult. The
    biggest work would be implementing the config options and GUI
    changes for them... :(

    I have had one similar complaint. I think this is really a hamlib
    issue but anyway for the next beta I have relaxed the error checking.
    The errors are not considered fatal anymore and messages go to the
    status bar instead of annoying popups...

    Most of the contents are bogus ie. left-overs from the Gnome
    documentation project sample documents (which in turn are actually
    Eye of Gnome (eog) docs...).

    Thanks to Carl VK1KCM the next beta will have a bit more relevant
    content.
