While I don't use the 8 port board, I do use a 4 port card (PCI-400HS-9) plus a 4 port (PCI-410-HSP-9 giving me an extra parallel port) bringing my com port total to 10 ports (2 built in ports on the motherboard). I use the VSCom drivers rather than the optional Oxford drivers. The VSCom drivers set up nicer giving me COM1 thru COM10, where the Oxford leave out COM3 and COM4 leaving a gap, i.e. COM1-COM2, COM5-COM12. I don't really need that many com ports, so I pulled one with the extra parallel port, leaving me with 'just' 6 com ports in my ham machine at the moment. There are no IRQ issues at all since these are PCI cards which automatically deal with that problem. Thank goodness we are finished with ISA cards which gobble up all available IRQ's!

(plus swearing at me for suggesting we send him our wishlists) DXB is the cleanest interface of all the programs I've bought, tried, and looked at. I can arrange what I want, where I want, how I want. And being a data junky, Jack and Joe's fancy reports are great! I am impressed with all the great ideas. Especially the one about licking the stamps. But I think that can be added. I already print my return and outgoing envelopes, and there are Postage programs that will print the postage indices onto envelopes. Might be a bit expensive for Jack to license the software for inclusion though. ----------------------------------------------------- A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package. ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland
