Mike,

This is certainly turning into a real stubborn problem to solve. Newer 
Byterunner drivers are something to try but here's another idea that might be 
worth the effort, even though you were not running this configuration 
previously (when it worked okay).

The EXTFSK utility I talked about offloads the FSK baudot timing from a serial 
port onto the soundcard. As I stated before, this driver is needed by MMTTY 
when using newer operating systems due to the change in OS architecture. You 
could try EXTFSK with Win98 and see if it makes any difference. Maybe others on 
the reflector can comment whether they have had any success using that 
combination together.

I'm cross posting this message to the RTTY@contesting.com reflector as this is 
another resource of fellows with a lot of experience.

  Bob:
  I thought I would give you an update.  After spending about 20 hours on my 
problem, I am no closer to the solution than when I started.  Well, that is not 
quite true.

  I have MMTTY working, marginally.

  All wiring is correct per all who helped out.  MMTTY does key the rigs.  The 
sound cards are working indicated by the display I see.

  Problem is the transmitted message is not working consistently. I have 
Byterunner 4 comm port card installed.  What is interesting is when I connect a 
rig Byterunner card, the transmitted message is messed up.  When I connect to a 
computer comm port all is well.

  I have two Byterunner cards as well as another computer running same 
operation system (W98SE).  I observed same on both boxes.

  Keep in mind things used to work just fine before.  I think I might have an 
issue with the Byterunner card drivers.  Understand that the card is used both 
on WL and TR, which requires DOS.

  I have and will research again the net for drivers.

  I will also send a note to WL and MMTTY reflector to see if I can get any 
help there as well

  Mike WG0M
