I cant figure out for the life of me what I did to "cure" it.  But 
sunday morning when I turned on the computer and started back at it I 
noted my local telnet node had poor connectivity to the rest of the 
packet network, so I fired up dxtelnet to drive writelog. I noted the 
Fkeys were working fine and continued to do so all day sunday.. I 
cant believe it was switching to dxtelnet, perhaps it was the reboot. 
I even *tried* to get them to fail at one point just so I was sure I 
wasnt dreaming..

and W1CSM pointed out the mute/non-mute confusion KV1W uncovered. I 
think I was seeing something similar, in that at times I would start 
to talk and the mic was acting muted.. Wasnt at all clear to me why.. 
I did play with the sound controls at one point to see if they helped 
but I didnt stumble on to ric's solution. In my case I'm using vox 
keying, since i'm running under nt4.0...  This sound board muting 
issue sounds (no pun intended) like a more plausable explanation.
