[RTTY] Commercial Interfaces

[Jim Rhodes]

My interface requires no drivers, just serial ports. The sound card does.
But that comes from Windows. I have had no problems with Win 98, Win XP,
Win Vista or Win 7 and if I need to talk to the support staff, I just talk
to myself. Nothing simpler, do it all the time.
