I use it for sending and receiving all the time. Once I route the PC curser 
to the jaws curser after finding the text with the jaws curser, I can read 
what ever comes in and send it no problem. I use it for RTTY, MT63, psk31, 
Olivia, and have used many more modes. The only thing fldigi does that MIXw 
doesn't is NBIMS but I've talked as have many others to the developer and he 
has less than no interest in caring and freely admits it to anyone. That's 
why though NBIMS has been experimented with around here, I do my best to 
make sure it doesn't go far since at the regional EOC, more likely than not, 
I'll be the only one they'll talk to so it won't do them any good to have it 
other than to talk to each other.
