Hello Howard I did what you suggested and the list of ports came back. 0-3. I then echoed each port and the echo came back as hellohello then the port address. I take it that that means the ports are there and working. Well Okay now guess what. I was reading though some of the old messages and some mentioned something about the INITIALIZE button so I tried it and now the interface seams to be working. I really appreciate the help with this. Now I can see if I can handle the upgrade in Flidigi. Thanks and 73 John John Rusmiselle KG4VHV ____________________________________________________________ Need cash?
