Tim,
I have good experience with N1MM together with MMTTY.
N1MM is connected to the COM1 port, not MMTTY.
For a computer I have several brands. At the clubstation PI4Z we usually
get the leftovers from other people. Nothing preferred.
I want to really recommend to use Windows 7. XP was already not bad but
W7 is really stable.
