[Dx4win] MMTTY

[Jeff Steinkamp]

A while back there was a post from someone who was having trouble launching RTTY 
from within DX4WIN.  I'm not sure that question was ever answered, but I seem to 
remember the individual said that the MMTTY control panel would appear then 
disappear after about 10 seconds or so.

I think I have the solution for this problem.  I also ran into this same problem 
with a user of my software who has a Win2K machine.  The problem was the users 
Firewall, Zone Alarm in this case.

The method used to launch MMTTY is called the remote mode and is launched via a 
Windows API called CreateProcess.  Zone Alarm and other firewalls along with some 
Anti-Virus software have an option to prevent these types of calls unless the user 
specifically allows the program to do so.

If you are experiencing this problem, I recommend you shutdown all firewalls 
including the Windows firewall and your anti-virus software.  Once you get MMTTY 
running you can experiment to discoverer which program is causing the problem then 
enable the option to allow these calls.  Since I am not a Zone Alarm user, I do 
not know the exact place to enable this function, but it is clearly defined in the 
users help manual.
