[GreenKeys] this looks neat. Is it usable in anyway?

Peter,

I recommend to join our www.telexforum.de . It's kinda European counterpart
of Greenkeys in
form of a web based forum.
Although main language is German we also have an international section for
English language postings.
Don't hesitate to ask your question there.
We have quite a few members there who are using FS200s and are familar with
their
problems and know how to fix them.
