So far I have just stuck the disk in the floppy drive and having all
set up so that the ports track to the same as on the dos version, it
just picks up where the other left off. I have only been testing with
two ports and until we get the other UHF channel done up at County
Ctr, I will not be able to do a full test on the routing yet. But if
all goes well I will be able to do so tomorrow afternoon.

Like in all things there will be site specific configuration that you
will have to do. Once I get all of the usual ports up and running I
am going to look at putting the image on a CF disk and trying it that
way, if that works then we will have a nice clean solution that has
even fewer moving parts to stop.
