Hi.  I'm currently trying to get ka9q to work on my IBM-compat.  For some
reason, I can get slfp.exe to dial the merit access number, but it says
that it can't get the ip number.  I think I have found a cause for this...
it's because the slfp program is still looking at the data using 8 bits,
no parity, and 1 stop bit instead of the 7,E,1 setting that all Merit numbers
use.  Since I have no idea how to code in C, can someone explain to me how
to modify this?  My current setup is:
     IBM-compat 486/50 AMI BIOS
     US Robotics 14.4k Dual Standard with V.32

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
