RE: Waiting for a good Control Program

["Creager, Robert S" <CreagRS@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM>]

Hey Chris,

I've just started the process of getting a SourceForge login.  As I've only
downloaded sourceforge projects before, I've no idea how to proceed from
here.  New project, exising project?  Hopefully, once I've completed the
account creation, I'll get some pointers on how to use it?

Just so happens that I have a currently dormant Linux PC (P120, SCSI/IDE
disk, 128Mb memory).  It was my sat. modem box until I found that Starband
stuff really works better on Winblows.  So, I will see if I can figure out
how to have a port forwarded from my XP box, through my 'server', into the
idle box,  or maybe I'll rearange my network a little.

Later,
Rob
