I think I can have all of the "reading assignments" on either floppy or 
a CD. I think that all but the FPAC stuff is on the Knoppix_AFU CD, I 
will see how to get the FPAC stuff in the ISO so you can have it all
there available to you.

I will not promise much because I am also getting squeezed by work (as usual
they all leave this radio stuff til the end of the year and then
wonder why I can
not get out to do "thier little project") but I will do what I can.
Mike Branda who
is active on the local Linux Users Group wants me to give something on Linux
and Amateur radio, perhaps we shall have to meld the whole thing together.

Do you want a DOS box or do you want a Linux box. What I know of the Linux
FPAC now, I would not go back to DOS unless I found something really bad
that I had not seen. We are getting ready to start migrating the DOS boxes
here in Tampa to LInux so we can do it either way. The Linux box just is so
much more flexible and allows you to do so much more.

OK. Let us see what we can do, I think we can do something here.
