Dave,
Never thought to try NA on the XP (pro) side. Seems to work OK for now. I
do have a separate, partitioned drive for WIN98, but my techie can't seem to
find the right drivers for the operating system - since WIN 98 is no longer
supported by either Microsoft or HP/Compaq.
Are there any caveats out there in NA land that I should be aware of when
running NA in a "Command Prompt" window on XP pro?
Thanks again. Barring any meltdowns I should be up and running for ARRL 160
this weekend.
73,
Roger ...

Roger,
I'm assuming that from your comment (the laptop (Compaq NC6000) is so new
that WIN98 is not supported) that you ran the O/S which came on the laptop,
which was almost certainly WinXP (Home or Pro).
XP does not allow legacy DOS programs access to the computer hardware, so
most, if not all reports have been that features like keying and such cannot
be made to work. If I am wrong, perhaps one of the XP wizards here on the
reflector can enlighten us.
