committed the common error of quoting an email address or URL at the end of a
sentence, and then reflexively typed a end-of-sentence period immediately after
the address. This breaks the automatic live-link click-to-reply function
of most email programs since the ending period gets quoted into the TO: address
on the "send new message" form creating an invalid email
address. <SPAN class=592172216-07092005><FONT face=Tahoma

clickable and isn't valid anyway. Slows down</FONT> <FONT face=Tahoma

<DIV><SPAN class=592172216-07092005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>As an aside, for
anybody interested, what I've found also works well with extremely long URLs is
to surround them with angle brackets (eg. <an extremely long URL.com>). In
many (but alas, not all) cases this will not only fix the trailing period
problem, but also the line break problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Many thanks for the alternative TNC info. I have that all on file
and originally was looking at the TNC-X alternative for a variety of reasons
(not the least of which being the geek factor of building from a kit). But my
timetable suddenly got pushed up from "soon" to "ASAP".

size=2>My only concern now is your comment on the MFJ 1274 requiring a
motherboard hack. I'm going to do a Google lookup, but the consensus seems to be
that it *doesn't* actually require one to be used with UIDIGI. I'm hoping not,
but if there's any confirmation and pointer to specifics, I'd like to see
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
