Hi David:
Actually, no, I hadn't seriously considered that. Simply
didn't occur to me. How stable is it these days? :-)
DVP support obviously doesn't matter on newer hardware,
we'll use external voice keyers or DVK's. How's the
CW keying under Windows XP?
Fear of the unknown is also an issue! :-)
73,
Mark
