[WT-support] Parallel Port

[Steve London]

I'm just an outsider when it comes to Win-Test, but this answer was a surprise 
to me.

Are you telling me that my SO2R setup, with 2 Dunestar bandpass filters, each 
controlled by its own LPT port, is a unique setup ?  I always thought this was 
pretty standard for SO2R in the days before the MK2R and EZMaster boxes.
