This is extremely poor taste. You should be ashamed.

Subject: Best Windows Terminal Program for WA8DED TNCS
Hi Rick,
I forgot to ask you whether PTC Term will uses the SCS PTC II's enhanced or
advanced WA8DED hostmode.
I also understand that the SCS PTC II uses a 32 bit CRC checksum on RS232
line to esnure that data is not lost. (which can sometimes happen with the
standard WA8DED hostmode).
Will the PTC Term take full advantage of these features of the PTC II
hostmode??
