Hi all..lots of info in the archives but would like some real time
advice. I am going to purchase WL but need to change computers at home
from 486 to either my current comp. at work or purchase a new Dell.
Current computer:
Pent . pro 180 (Gateway) 32m ram 2.0g hd
Ensoniq SoundscapeVIVO Plug+Play card ( did card check = 6f)
Win98
No extra com ports (just what came stock)
I can bring this home for free or can purchase a new comp. Would rather not
spend the money but if this system will not work adequitely then I will
bite the bullet. Should I just change hardware in the 180 ? If a new
system is recommeded would it be cheaper for Dell to setup the extra com
ports (maybe they don't do that) or should I purchase an extra com card and
get the Device-IO software and do it myself?
Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. do not think my current shack comp. could handle WL ? All this works
perfect but slow.
Equipment:
486-dx4-100 24meg ram , 540meg hd , 4 com prts - 2 lpt ports
TS-940 on com2 ,no rotor control, using cw on lpt2 now , band decoder on lpt1
