Re: [WriteLog] COM Port / TS850 Interface problem

[Joe <k0bx@qsl.net>]

Dennis, I am using a VScom PCI card with four com ports and an LPT with 
WL.  I have computer control to the TS-850S on comport6 and rotor 
control on comport7.  Comport5 is CW, Comport2 is ptt/fsk.  The VScom 
PCI card is setup for comport 3,5,6,7.  Comport 4 is modem.  Comport3 is 
used for PK-232.

I did not have any problem with WL seeing the ports.  I am using a MFJ 
RS-232 to ttl cable.

If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them.  BTW I am 
using Win98SE.
