This file is a listing of all the critical settings on a working remote weather site.  The site
has a U2000 and a KPC-3 version 6.0 (GPS capable) TNC.  My comments are denoted by braces {such
as these}.  Crucial settings (take this as "Check these first"), are denoted with an asterisk (*) preceding.  Brackets [like these], 
indicate keys; if you see [CTRL]+[key] it means hold control and press the corresponding key.

While I believe all of these settings to be correct (seeing as they do work), I'm open to suggestion for improvements.

For a guide and FAQ see the WXREMOTE file.  For the complete listing, see KPC3WX.TXT.
