In the past, I have used CTWin on 233 MHz and 450 MHz Pentium
computers running Win98 without any CW sending issues.
I have since upgraded to faster computers with WinXp for improved
stability.

Subject: [ct-user] NETTSR and new computers - it works!
Good day, everyone:
I just had occasion to try using dis_pkt and an NDIS driver on
a new computer to use with a CT DOS network. It worked fine,
this time with an Intel Pro/100 VE network controller. With
the Intel E100B.DOS driver, this works fine. It took less than
10 minutes to set up. The procedure I wrote up some time
ago worked fine.

This means that CT DOS can be run with ethernet networking
on most new computers. (Note: this works but needs torture
testing to make sure it is stable).
With the ByteRunner PCI serial cards, it appears that almost
any modern DESKTOP computer with a parallel port can be
used successfully for CT DOS. I think Byterunner has a parallel
port PCI card with a DOS driver, so it may be possible to use that.
Laptops are another matter.
I will have to try CTWIN here...I suspect it would work more
easily. I have had problems with delays in sending CW
from CT WIN, but that may have been due to old, slow
computers. I haven't tried it on this new, fast Dell.
I hope that this may help someone. If not, it at least helps
me! :-)

Mark, KD4D
