Subject: Computer to TNC connection other then COM PORT?????

FYI, we've tested the Entega and Belkin USB to serial converters with all
the major TNCs (Kantronics, AEA/Timewave, MFJ, HAL and SCS) and have ran
into no problems except on older computers where USB support was in the
early design stages.

I've also heard 'rumors' of a TNC with a built USB port on the way... but
can't say much about that. ;)

In this case the PK-232 is the level converter.  The manual was
talking about the Electronic level converter in place of a polar
relay.

Connect up FSK-N as AEA considered Icom to be normal for FSK service.

"Seething"? Honestly, it won't affect me in the slightest, for I'll
continue to answer any CW station's CQ, regardless of license class.
*Any* ham who uses CW immediately gets my sincere respect and
admiration. I mean that.
