I have never had any isses with SIO 1.60d but there are some people who cannot use it for some reason, due to hardware issues we think, and have to use SIO2K.

Unfortunately, you may be one of them but...if you can, can you send me your CONFIG.SYS?  You can crash it to me via BinkD or email to me and I can take a look.  What version of OS/2 are you using?

I am stable, thank you, and doing a bit better...and it was my pleasure.  I originally wrote it in 1998 to go along with the release of Telegard/2.  I am credited in TG/2's documention as "hausmaus", my original "nom de Net". :D
