[RTTY] Sound card issue with Digital Apps

[w6sa at cox.net]

I don't want to sound too optimistic here but I think I may be able to 
use the existing soundcard after all.

Finally took some good advice to the effect that Vista will not allow 
the apps to recognize the sound card until something was connected to 
it, other than the speakers apparently.

I found some cables I could run across the room from the MFJ Interface 
to the new computer and BINGO!, the sound chip was recognized.  I was 
able to see activity but without the rest of the hookup I could not 
transmit. I could see diddles and it appeared that Digipan would also be 
able to transmit.

I'll decide whether I'm stupid or just lazy, once I see if everything 
works once I replace the old computer with the new one over the weekend.

Keeping my fingers crossed.  I'll post my results once I see if it 
works.

Thanks to everyone for all the replies and suggestions.
