Don, 

The MMTTY plug-in initializes the MMTTY engine with the COM Port 
passed by WriteLog at start-up.  WriteLog has no "EXTFSK" option 
in the Ports menu.  

When started as a DLL (which is what the plug in does), MMTTY 
does not use the (PTT/FSK) port information stored in MMTTY.INI 
... it uses the configuration options passed at the start up. 
When MMTTY receives a port (even if EXTFSK has been configured 
for that port) it will not start EXTFSK.  Prior to the addition 
of "Software FSK on DTR,"  I spent dozens of hours looking for 
a configuration option that would allow the MMTTY plug-in to 
call/use EXTFSK with no success. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
