I've been dropping RST from the prompt for nearly a year in just about every
RTTY contest. Just saves screen space and speeds things up. Have had the
described problem with the modules regardless of OS in use, including
Win98SE and WinXP. Don's procedure is highly recommended -- I'm now using
XP for everything,
