RE: BMI datafeed

["coaster" <coaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I switched over to DTN sat from bmi sat months ago and I am saving about 100
a month plus the feed is much faster and more complete.  Dtn runs at 460800
with the 8080 box and if you go the serial card route forget about Pacific
Commware they are worthless and expensive.  I am running about 170,000
symbols with no real problems to speak of.

I have received a couple of suggestions that I look into replacing the BMI
satellite feed with DTN and that certainly is a possibility.  What I would
like to find out is if there have been many problems running TS4 with DTN.
I know that there are at least several running this combination and I would
like to hear of your experiences.

Thanks,

~Bob
