There is an error-free protocol hosted on a PC and soundcard; see
http://www.eham.net/articles/9785 . Even better, they are working on "busy
detectors" for other modes so that when used in semi-automatic operation,
the automatic station will not inadvertently QRM ongoing QSOs.

What you say is true. But there is not ONE error-free mode using a
soundcard. Until that happens, none of the modes will ever equal Pactor for
reliable, error-free communications. And, most of the soundcard modes are
pitifully slow when compared to Pactor-II or-III.

The attraction of soundcard-based implementations is not simply reduced
expense, its also increased functionality:
- panoramic tuning via a waterfall or spectrum display
- the ability to decode multiple signals and extract relevant information
(e.g. callsigns)
- extensibility (PSKCORE source code is now available under the GPL license)
