I'm sure that 5.0b will cost $5 _only_ if you are outside of the country (USA).
The motd on the Manx BBS says the upgrade is free, and I got the same
impression from the sales rep when I ordered 5.0b.  BTW, they will accept
payment over the phone by VISA / MC.

Now the question is...where did you hear of 5.0c, Patrick?  I haven't seen it
mentioned on their BBS.

Last comment...if you have the developer's package, downloading the 3 lharc'ed
files containing (complete) binaries (ie not patches) will take at least 40
minutes (2400 baud max)...which you have to consider, if you're calling long
distance.
