[Pactor] New to pactor...want to setup system

[Tom Clements]

Using MixW2 you can only listen to Pactor (and not at all to Pactor II 
or Pactor III).

Quoting from the help file:
MixW supports Pactor receive (listen mode) only via the soundcard 
interface.  To transmit Pactor with MixW you must use a hardware TNC. 
See TNC Configuration and operation.
