D-PRS Interface is a Windows GUI encapsolated javAPRSSrvr (APRS server software). The TCP port interface in javAPRSSrvr is specifically designed to connect to a reliable (always there) TCP port that presents pure "serial" data. Because this software is written in Java, there is no ability to know why a connection goes away other than it was terminated (what we give up to be able to be platform independent). I believe the assumption that a Windows GUI progrm can be started after the TCP port becomes available is a valid one. The software that uses the TCP port code relies on the the interface to either be there or not at startup and would require a major rewrite of more code than the TCP port code. 73, Pete Loveall AE5PL
