Hmmm think I've twigged - One is the Client which I know about and the other is the Server/Decoder which you are currently beta testing - is that something like it it? 

If I'm right then I'll know where to look when it eventualy gets released.

When I use the Client I log in to one of the built in servers - EGLF - which actualy is run very close from where I live. It's very useful but on the other hand I can't afford to be connected to the internet all day to get a reasonal log of stuff from it - hence I prefer a sound card option which is why I'm interested in what you've got there now. Wacars is ok but like I said previously it needs a lot of tweaking on my setup so as not to miss something

Well I'm interested to take a look - if it's likely to raise some eyebrows on here you can mail me the info directly here: colin.knight@gmx.net

You'll have to exuse my ignorance on this subject matter as I only joined this list a week or so before Xmas and I'm still learning as to what is on/off topic on here. I thought software and help was discussed on here but all I've seen posted is acars logs to date so I hope I'm not upsetting the applecart.

Cheers and a happy new year to all on the list.
