So many variables changed from the time I operated the Radio PC in a
RTTY contest without issue and when I started having problems, that I
don't know which was the culprit.  I *do* know that I couldn't go more
than maybe an hour on the same HW under 98SE without MMTTY dying. 
With XPp, I was not so limited.

My serial port card is an NEC OEM version of a SIIG card (eBay
special) and seem to have the correct XPp drivers for it ... so far
...  :-)
