Ok - I see the point now. guess I'm just getting slow. I do have 3 of the PK-232MBX's and use them much. One of them I got back in 1988 or so new for about 300 bucks. Used for the most part for AMTOR and some what for HF and VFH packet.
Would be just the thing to run on my old 8088 system. May have to take a look at it.
