[RTTY] Dell Outlet

[Andrei Stchislenok]

Neal,

I am not a big expert in PC hardware. I think I will take another chance and
order again from tigerdirect that small IBM with two com ports.
Before my computer went down I used his two com ports for FSK and Freq
control plus USB to com port adaptor for CW keying. All worked so nice...
