[Dx4win] SO2R Question

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Tod, you're right - I misspoke.  The PIEXX unit takes OTRSP serial port 
commands via a USB vritual port and converts them to the appropriate LPT 
commands, rather than actually functioning as a USB to LPT converter.  
You might want to talk to W4NZ about this - he beta tested the PIEXX 
unit with a DXD, and knows how to make the DXD do lots of tricks.
