Hello Roy,

I have a beta running on my point system. Haven't  seen that one crash, but
then again it is not used for incoming calls.

Same for XT, so I will have to find an alternative if end when I make the plunge..

Good.

 RW> The same here...maybe D'B if it can quote properly by the time I get

D'Bridge seems to be doing fine these days, but I am not found of these
"all in one" solutions.
