[EAS] Single point entry of CAP messages

[Alan Kline]

And there are still a *lot* of unanswered questions about how we're 
going to make this thing work. Last week, I was talking to our TX 
supervisor (who's also the assistant CO) about how we're planning to get 
our DASDEC connected to the Internet--through the corporate WAN, the 
local cable modem, or a dedicated connection by another means. All have 
pros and cons that we have to weigh. Discussions like this allow us all 
to compare notes...

For the record, I'm not complaining about CAP--at least, not yet. I 
recognize the need for moving forward, and like everyone else, our 
trusty TFT 911 is due for retirement. And personally, I'm thrilled to 
have a box that allows me to replace our handwritten EAS test logs with 
one printout that I just have to initial and put in the book...
