[FADCA] Use of ESATCOM for TCP/IP

[JDaughtry]

Doug
 I ran MSYS for years and loved it and its non crashing ways withthe tnc
support it has   too bad it wasnt updated and made modern
 went to win fbb and found that under win98 se it runs good [ no windows
based program runs great ] but takes tons of memory to run if anything else
is runnig and fbb grabs the printer for its very own wfbb 7.00g is the
stablest of them all  but in fbb the trnc support is limited without adding
programs to run them ei more memory needed  fast machine is not necessary
ran winfbb on a 486dx 50 machine for years and it survived fine
 not sure what the ESATCOM program curtails  and if its compadable win fbb
ports must be declaired in fbb and that may be a problem  but most nic cards
will work with fbb if the address is placed in the port.sys file corectlly
 good luck .
   I refuse to commint on my thoughts of John Flemming
 I had to deal with him for several years and his old fashion ways
 73 to all John
