If you go back in the archives from 2006, you will see how Rein had set 
his hacked version of gmfsk to interface with tlf. Gmfsk would read one 
file and execute it, tlf would read the other file and execute it. 
Basically depending on how tlf was configured via the log.cfg file, you 
could use it to do digital(RTTY) contesting. The hacked gmfsk is no 
longer available and I don't see a reason that fldigi couldn't be made 
to work the same. The stumbling block is that pskmail no longer uses the 
gmfsk.log file, which is needed for tlf. I lack the knowledge to be able 
to implement fldigi to work as a modem as did the hacked gmfsk.

The only alternative is to install MS-XP and use N1MM with MMTTY to be 
able to work a RTTY contest and submit a cabrillo file.
