Hi Dieter,
           I am going mad! 

  I had Turbocom installed and it worked nicely except that WinFax
wouldn't run with it because it is a Windows 3.0 program. So I dumped
it and used a fossil driver called X00 with WFXCOM and Telemate in
Fossil mode and it worked like a charm... but now it doesn't!

  I cleaned up the system.ini file and got rid of the useless stuff,
and now it doesn't work at all. Of course, Bob is such a great expert 
that there was no need to keep a backup. I don't know what I've done,
but I've rooted it. Bloody hell! It must have cost me $20 in telephone
calls to get it right, and it's rooted.

  Aaarrrgh!

  Yair... but I had it working like a charm last week. Now I'm going
to have to start all over again because I'm so confused that I don't
know my arse from my elbow.

  [thinks] Why does my elbow have a hole it?

Regards,
Bob
