Thanks, Gary. I have combed through the archives and now know more
than I ever wanted about the UserPara.ini problem. :)
I have all the appropriate ports pointing to the correct FSK port and
the sound card settings are good, too.
Joe's comment that I can't use an MMTTY EXTFSK module sounds like the
ultimate source of the problem.
I appreciate everyone's help.
