[Duo2400] Re: Duo Dock Tick of Death

[Edwin Morrow]

I'm new to all this stuff.  Several have given advise as to what hardware I need
after describing my intended use of my 230.  Could someone send me a pic or the a
dock or the various docks that are talked about or a link where I can find pics.
Still can't picture what a dock looks like.

Thanks in advance,

Ed
