As you said that really isn't the issue, nor was it my point to contradict
you.

On that we agree completely, for obvious reasons!  This is especially true
when discussing protocol negotiation, which is what Kris claimed was improved
by switching drivers.  While *that* is impossible, line conditions will
certainly affect throughput.

I wish I could make beta 9 work right for me.  I haven't mentioned it much,
because it IS a beta.  Someone here was kind enough to email me his config
file, which I modified for my hardware, but it still doesn't work *right*.
OTOH, the 1.60 release I'm using works just fine.

There is only one guy here that I think can be assured of getting a reply from 
him (Hi, Bob! :^).  I know it's been a long time since I have been able to get 
one, altho at one time I corresponded with him on several occasions.
