BTPE 3.05 is a product that has a 32-bit OS/2 version that comes
with source code.  It is not "an older version", it is in fact
the latest version.  It has features not found in BT 2.59 nor
BTEE.  It has an absence of bugs in certain places, that exist
in BT 2.59.  It compiles with no less than 4 OS/2 compilers, 
without a warning.  It compiles with 2 DOS compilers, also without
any warnings.  This gives you the ability to use optimizations
specific to your processor, etc etc.  It may be upgraded with
lots of features such as EMSI (which incidentally gives YOU no
benefit whatsoever) one day, just the same as MSQ330 may be 
upgraded one day to use the JAM messagebase (which incidentally
gives YOU no benefit whatsoever).  However, if you want these
changes in the short term, you will have to do them yourself.
The product that satisfies what you need exists already.  You 
can choose to either sit around with a 3 year old no-source,
no-support product as you are now, or you can sit around with a
5-year-old source product, or you can use a 2-month old product,
with source, and 32-bit executable.  Oh, and while you're sitting
around, you can always dream too.  Couldn't you have worked that 
out from the above quote from The Jetsons?

Whether ATI6 works or not is a separate issue from whether
putting it in the init string will make it report the stats
after a call.  I expect that it will.

db> Perhaps - we'll see.

Any idea what modems you have successfully got 28800 connects
with?  BFN.  Paul.
