[simpits-tech] Correct list for Epic?

The idea in running a packet sniffer was to see if anything was being
sent by either epiclink process..

I am running FSUPIC 2.8.3, Epiclink 1.05 and Epicinfo 3.910, Epic95.vxd
5.61

FSUIPC is only installed on the FS2k2 machine.

My epic card is running firmware 2.06.

I really appreciate your time Marc!

Stuart.
