RE: Waiting for a good Control Program

Rob,

I can test but first...
Put your stuff on Source Forge then I can test against it and check
any change back into CVS.  E-mailing patches and updating FTP
servers is to slow and error prone.  CVS works in real-time.
You can use my Source Forge Account if need be.  We can clear
out whatever is in there

I intended to put my Mk IV board set on line.  I actually did but
there were no takers back then  Later my DSL company
went broke and the new company has their price set above my threshold.

If someone has a PC that is on-line 24x7 and will make me a log-on
account on it I'll send the board out.  This should be a Linux PC
that is not used for important work.  A P100 is fast enough but
it does need at least 64MB RAM and a decent hard drive.  You can
power the board from the PC by exending a disk drive cable out of
the PC box.  You will also need a free serial port on the PC.
