Well surprise, Owen. It's not worked in any of the release versions
either. If it's not one thing, it's another. Too many to go into detail
here. At least BETA 4 allows me to use all my ISDN channels, instead of
losing two. The downside is it reboots every few days, all by itself.
BETA is not supposed to be "broken". BETA generally means (in a quality
organization):
"We've tested it as well as we can, now, please test it in the field,
because we think it will fix your problem".
This last is a quote from a Livingston technician.
ALPHA is: "We've not tested this very well, use at your own risk".
The natural retort to "read my lips", Owen, is "suck me". Being a
gentleman, I'll resist the temptation to use this phrase in possibly
mixed company.
Congratulations, sir, you have made the honor roll: in the kill file you
go. Not once have I seen you contribute one line of useful information to
this list.
Have a nice day,
