OK Charlie, I'll bite.  I have a 1st generation Pentium 200 PC that I can
run either native DOS 6.22 or Windows 98.  It has a true SB16 (yes, ISA) as
well as 4 com ports and 3 LPT ports.  As you know, I too still us NA for
logging.  However, NA is pretty poor for RTTY, as it requires a KAM TNC and
is very limited in the commands it will pass to the KAM.

So, what software would you LCC members recommend for RTTY contesting?

Do you use the same package for RTTY, CW, and SSB, or do you use
mode-specific software?

If planning to run SO2R RTTY, will I need 2 soundcards?  If that is the
case, you better FexEx one to me!
