    I still haven't received my "capacity upgrade kit" that was absent
  from V2.0 distribution but thought I'd at least start preparing for
  the ordeal.

    I just read this in the Release Notes:

   "1.12.7  Modem Control Conforms to RS-232-C Standard
       Modem Control now conforms to the RS-232-C standard. This new
    functionality makes more complete use of modem signals, as required by
    multinational communications systems.  Modems that do not conform to the
    RS-232-C standard for modem control signals may cause unpredictable
    results. "

   O.K., so they made one or more changes, too bad they didn't elaborate
  and tell us exactly what the new conditions are for reliable use.  I
  could assume this involves Carrier Detect and maybe RTS and CTS but
  one could waste days guessing.

    Anyone out there care to explain ?   Thank you.
