It seems that the FCC has chosen to exclude all NON Microshaft NT/95 users from being able to use their Internet Universal Licensing System which they have requested FCC Licenses holder to use for license renewals. The problem is that it requires a JavaScript Plug-in that is a Microsoft product only. Simply go to "http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls" and then select "ONLINE FILING". I believe this to be the complete path to the failure. Which is "This plug-in only runs on Windows NT/95". We need to protect the finest operating system from being excluded from the United States by our Government Officials. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~dwash " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ MSDOS Virus 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / "Free Zone" Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ OS 1.281.242.3256 email:n5xwb@arrl.net Info:" http://www.hlug.org " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
