POssibly but I'd looked at a couple years ago when running a fidonet
bbs. I was looking for the ability to enter things directly from the
command line and have the computer available for something else. Also
since a large percentage of what I do is public service stuff I wasn't
finding anything that took care of such logging chores, so we had to
start out inventing that wheel. sO I built the other modules for the
bulk of the work my station does and then made myself a little module
for contesting and another for dx stations etc.
sOmetimes it's a little bit of fun to reinvent the wheel when the
wheel you invent works as you want to work I guess <g>. I don't have
radio control and all that, but my antique radio wouldn't support it
anyway <g>.
