Gee, could this be a job for VMWare -- just run a Win9x virtual machine
on an existing Linux box? I haven't used VMWare, but if all the
Audio Perfect Tools software does is to run a GUI and talk through
the serial port to the Gentner, surely it'd work. Cheaper &
smaller than another box. Of course a real Linux version would be much
handier once somebody gets the time to create it.
