Crashes are likely to occur. If you have the choice, turn of 7-wire and everything should be OK. Unfortunately, some software ALWAYS opens the device in 7-wire mode and won't let you change it. -- Mike Oliphant UUCP: alberta!herald!telepro!oliphant Internet: oliphant@telepro.uucp FidoNet: (1:140/91) - ZMH only * * Call TelePro, the development system for DIALOG Professional * * Phone: +1 306 249 2352 2400/9600/14400 bps HST * +1 306 652 2084 300/1200/2400 bps * FidoNet: (1:140/90) *
