Anyone care to share their favorite MMTTY setups (including the 
details)? I'm experimenting with dual instances of MMTTY, but can't see

Also, a friend has a shiny PK-232 that has been sitting unused for 
years... if I made him an offer and did the RTTY conversions, would it 
be worth the money and effort?
