Rich et al,

John has said it well.  You can DO IT ALL on one computer.  My
WriteLog website and personal RTTY page can point you in the right
direction (I hope) www.geocities.com/writelog and www.aa5au.com/rtty.

I will be more than happy to personally guide you through any problems
with setting up RTTY on whatever situation you wish to create (except
the dual sound card configuration - John's the "expert" on that).

This goes the same to anyone else needing RTTY help.  I am here to help you.

73, Don AA5AU
