[WriteLog] Serial Port Addition/FSK

["S. Markowski Jr." <km9m-zig@comcast.net>]

Like most everyone else with a laptop, I could use more serial ports. I 
was wondering two things:
1st.  I remember reading that running FSK in WL with serial adapters 
required the adapter to be capable of running 5-bit code......  Can 
someone explain what this is in layman's terms?  If an adapter handles 5 
-bit code, would it specifically say 5-bit code, or would a rating 
above/below 5 bit indicate that?  I read about the card on the Quatech 
site via Google, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Has anyone heard of/used a Quatech QSP-100 PCMCIA Card?  Have the 
ability to buy one, but if I can't do FSK with it in WL, I won't bother.

Okay, I was wrong..... Guess I was wondering three things.

Thanks in advance, Happy Holidays, and 73,
