Hi Bill, et al
Actually, 8 port boards are pretty cheap. I picked up one for my Dell
Dimension 2400 for around $30 at a little "mom and pop" computer shop. I
have 2 cw setups, 2 rtty setups and 1 radio control on the one computer. I
have 2 more ports left (com 2 is being used for something I haven't figured
yet) for hooking up something else. Probably the second radio. Will still
leave me with one extra com port. Plus 2 USB ports and 1 LPT port. 73
