Holy Crap! This is why we need lists like this and people like you. The
green non BASH icon made the hard drive churn and stew for a bit but
fired right up! I then issued a "STARTX" (no quotations) and after some
more boiling sounds from the hard drive that colorful bash looking
thing fired up. I issued an XASTIR command and it started running too!
so it's on now at:

I am only using the dos looking map, but it's cool. How do I send a
message through the Internet, no TNC? Is it "I" like UIVIEW? or am more
reasonable "TCPIP"???
