Kev,

I'll make v48 public today.

Thanks for the info on the mouse lock ups ... I'll be looking forward to the
fix.

One other area you might be able to assist with (and I'm not certain it's even
related to windows) is having what appears to be stardard in locking up ... but
all other paths are fine.

Here's what happens:

I'm running Sterm and connect to one particular type of modem (some kind of
DEC). It is 2400 baud and supports upto MNP level 3. I get a solid error
checking connect and the session will be fine for a few minutes. Then the
screen freezes.

I get nothing but anything I type is sent out the modem (I can see the lights
flicker and the guy on the other end is reporting my data back to me).

This has started to happen since I switched to my new SupraFax 9600 baud modem
and started using the console more. I haven't been able to duplicate it from a
terminal yet, but i'm still trying.

I can't figure out any particular pattern as of yet ... exccept it generally
hits me when I'm inside an OSK mail editor replying to mail.

Do you have any ideas I can try that might help isolate this?

Here are my possibilities ... have I left any out?

        1) The modem. Swap in an old 2400 non error correcting modem and the
        problem never occurs. Set the new modem to no error correcting and
        the problem hasn't occured. However, I only have this happen with
        this one particular DEC modem in Southern FL. He swaps to a different
        modem and all is fine.

        2) Serial driver related. I'm always on /t3 for the modem so perhaps
        there's still something with the sc68681 driver.

        3) Windows. Perhaps some escape sequence is getting back and locking
        the screen?
