Dunno, I used the same cfg file with 2.59EE, but not with earlier versions
as I wasn't aware of the Aftercall command until relatively recently, and
all of my V.34 USRs have had their stats logged by Binkley, without any
problems.

Trouble is, there are so many hacked versions of Binkley doing the rounds,
that one can never really be sure of their respective origins.  I'll take
your word for it that this is how Bink used to function, though.  :)

No, ATZ definitely clears the last call stats here, and this is with the
very latest US SDL code dated April 29.  Looks like Bink has changed
instead.
