[RTTY] Multi-port serial boards

[Jim Johnson]

Why two computers?  Why not one computer and two radios, modems, 
rig controls, band decoders, and antenna switches, what ever?

With multi-comport boards with multi-printer ports one computer can 
pretty handle anything that you need for a SO2R.  The only think I 
suggested is a dual monitor to make room for all the open windows.  I am 
running Win98 with two video cards and two monitors, but Ed/K4SB just 
told us where to get a single video card with two outputs for two monitors.  
Pretty cool!  

You think this is the making of a new category i.e., "SO2R1C2M" Single 
Operator Two Radio One Computer Two Monitor!!
