Soundmodem can also be configured as a serial KISS TNC, in which case the usual permissions for the port apply. In this case you can only attach one program to it at a time. If it's configured as an AX.25 port, multiple programs can use it at once. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
