[UK-CONTEST] FT990 CAT

[G3SJJ]

OK thanks to Alan, Darren and Chris for responding. I will try the RS232 
info that Alan sent first, it looks promising. I can now remember going 
through this twice before about 12-15 years ago when I started using DX 
Cluster and then networking via comms ports. It's all so easy these days 
with Telnet!
