Hi, Jamie.  Well after cursing and swearing for about an hour before the sprint,
I finally gave up trying to network 2 computers with NA.  Even then, I couldnt
get all my IO devices to work at once.  I went to running a single computer
with only a radio interface: no packet and no DVP.  At least that held up.

I tried so many different configs trying to get everything to run, I just about
bagged the sprint.  One thing that happened along the way is that I couldnt
access the SETUP screen to change any of the ports.  It would flash the box
outline momentarily on the screen and immediately dump back to the callsign
box.  Config attempted:  Single Op all band Sprint SSB - Network COM1 9600
IRq 3, Packet remote, FT1000 on COM3 IRQ 10, w/ DVP (IRQ 5) running MSDOS 6.21
on a 386DX25.  My other computer runs Windows 95 and MSDOS 7.  I never
did get the DVP to work at all on this one under either operating system.

Frustrated!
