       Subject: problems with the latest non-beta flash upgrade
    Your problem described below is the same as mine, calling three
    different BBSs - except I don't have the 09 beta, and an earlier
    28.8 FLASH doesn't install, so I can't fall back. And of course
    SUPRA support is on a extended 4th of July holiday...
    It's a real PITA, especially as I believe at least one BBS has
    auto lock-out of those who drop carrier x-times. I tried several
    permutations of setup to solve the problem (none of which worked,
    and all of which locked up and dropped carrier), and finally ended
    up (apparently) unable to access the BBS at all.
    I'm using an external 288 FAXmodem.

                                take care...  Larry
