Next message: Kar Ish: "Re: lv-ab: Weather fax solutions"
Hello Don, I'm still trying to set up the system at home to get it perfected
before I move aboard in another two months. I have not been sucessful yet
getting files downloaded for Lake Superior or anything for that matter. It
will just take some time playing with it I imagine. I thought I would try it
out here before I use any of my Winlink time. I don't want to tie up the
system until I have it ready here.
