Hmm!  I was not paying too much attention to this thread until now.

I obtained an old IC-2AT that has a bad xmtr to use to listen on PCSAT but
need a TNC to use it for an IGate.  Will Mixw work and what sw would I
need?  I assume for IG operation I merely need to monitor 145.850 MHz.  The
computer I am thinking of dedicating is an old P90 IBM Thinkpad laptop
(that is if I can find an ethernet card that will I/F it).  Getting DSL
setup here.
