Come to think of it the laptop computer I used that did not have a problem
with keying was using a comm port. The P133 is using a devoted LPT2 port.

|DL1EFD asked the question I asked myself after sending the summary last
|night and was staring at the list of printer drivers running in the
|background.
|
|I have six COM ports, having added two PCI cards, and several of
|these ports
|are currently available. Does the group think CW problems are less
|likely if
|a serial port is used?
