[vcf-midatlantic] ADTPro help

[Systems Glitch]

I looked through the adtpro.sh file for version 2.0.1, which I have running just fine under Slackware 14.1 64-bit. The script picks the version of RXTX based on your system's `uname` and `uname -p`, so that should be fine for your machine. I seem to remember having permissions issues on lockfile creation, so you may be running into that.

Things to do:

* Run it in the console, give us the complete output
* Do `ls -l | grep lock`, give us the output
* Do `groups`, give us the output
* Do `ls -l /dev/tty*`, give us the output

As always, don't include the backticks!

Thanks,
Jonathan
