that above is EXACTLY my complaint and major, pet peeve.. I would love to run my digital off my MacPro but none of the software for Winmor, MixW, Telnet has been ported to OS-X that I am aware of. result is, I am either sneaker netting files from the Mac to my doze laptop or sending it to my //MARS/ telnet account then copying the data into an EEI or whatever. sucks. BUT, I feel the same way about what I consider the best email program (Agent by Forte) and my favorite photo program (ACDSee). So, as long as those are in Doze, I have resigned myself to running second rate software on my Mac IF I can even find something comparable. thanks for the thread. If anyone finds a comparable Mac OS-X set of digital programs to replace the MixW, Telnet and Winmor, please post it to this list. to the point of a sound card, I like the SL/USB so much, I bought one for each of my transceivers. so, I can unplug one from the T-41 and plug in another, depending on my needs. Since I got my Pro3, I find it hard to go back to my 480HX except for QSY checking for propagation. 73 chas -- ch...@texas.net k5dam Houston, TX http://militarysignatures.com/signatures/member14013.png --
