It has nothing to do with Linux. Karl got a new tnc and wants to talk about
it.

There was no discussion of porting. The box has the protocol in rom. The
application is only a terminal program communicating thru rs-232. It had
nothing to do with software, only hardware.

That was another posting. This posting only had to do with the box itself
and
it's rf interfering with the computer itself. It was plain and simple a
hardware
review for a new piece of equipment. Mostly proved by the point that the
hardware was defective, was being returned and he would keep _us_ posted.
This had nothing to do with any software package, operating system and
Linux in specific.

Personal choice. Good for you. Why didn't you do that this time?
Something
in particular? Maybe if you really read the postings to either learn or
help fellow
hams become better hams or net citizens............Oh well........
I know I'm not perfect but occasionally I do have a opinion. It is not out
of line
for a member of a non-moderated list to politely comment on the revalency of
a posting by a fellow member.
Later, Willy
