Thanks for the info all-
My application is a remote seismic data acquisition program run under
DOS. I wish to monitor this remote station from inside my house. The DOS
acquisition program uses an interrupt to USGS to keep the time accurate
therefore the interupt is screwed up if the program is run in a DOS window.
I am not as yet familiar with Linux but this seems like an option.
