[WriteLog] CW interface to Toshiba 3490CT problem

[Scot Herrick]

Dick,

Since you are keying the LPT port and the LPT keying change effects
different PC's differently, try adding the new PTT line in the WriteLog.ini
file on the Toshiba. They way you describe the behavior on the notebook
implies it could be fixed with the WriteLog.ini entry that we've had here on
the reflector all day. If you need it, email me direct and I'll pull it out.
It's under the [PORT] section in WriteLog Help and talks about CW PTT.

Hope it works!

CU...Scot, K9JY
