Ok so the frequency I was told as an expample was incorrect. I see. Accoring
to
Roy T in is in the area of 300hz to 3000hz. I commented to him they guy may
have
oversimplifed assuming I did not understand anything anyway.

But on the issue of com drivers. I do agree with you. My point has gotten lost
though. and it is tha tline conditions affect modem communications more than
the
drivers do. personaly since I use a Gtek JetportII I can't use andthing but
the
sio2k009 drivers. Which I find perfectly fine. I do hope to see a release
version but that seems dimmer and dimmer. But I can't really complain as the
beta runs good enough for me. Kris just needs to realise he cannot trust the
readouts from those drivers. 

I think someone here needs to contact Ray Gwinn and see if the driver will
ever
see a realease. I seem to have troble getting a response from him. Which I do
not take personally as many seem to have the same problem with him.
