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. Gordon P.
