KK1L's suggestion certainly works, if you have enough serial ports. If you have
access to a clunker PC, running Windows 98, that has ethernet and 1 serial
port,
use that as your "router" to the internet. Wintelnetx is a fine program for
these purposes, once you get it configured right.
I almost get nostalgic for the good old days of the early 90's, when these kind
of setups were much more common.
If you're willing to break up with Tree, there is other contesting software out
there, besides TR4W, that some ex-TRLog users are very happy with.
