[RTTY] MMTTY and USB/COM port problem

[Scott Schultz]

With all this talk about problems/issues with USB and COM ports, I wanted to 
throw in my $0.02...

My Dell desktop (running XP) has 2 COM ports. One is used for the CI-V 
connection to my 756Pro and the other is used for CW keying. With so many 
peripherals now using USB, including printers and multi-function devices, 
this left the printer port unused. Fortunately, MMTTY works just as well 
through the printer port as any of the serial ports. The interface is 
terribly simple to build and I have never (knock wood) had any issues of one 
program or another trying to take hold of the printer port and not release 
it. You will also need to add the EXTFSK program to your MMTTY folder.
