If you were happy, you would not be posting here...    ;-)

Please, Please get yourselves running the latest incarnation. You do not
even have a RELEASE version of 1.0 (the 'e' stands for EPSILON, just one
after BETA) 1.1 and 1.1.5 fixed MANY bugs, and added a lot of features.
The serial port code, which is what is bugging :) you, has been much
overhauled.

The current version is 1.1.5.1, and the performance is _significantly_
improved over 1.0. For a site offering professional service, using pre-
release software is dicey at best.

>Thanks in advance..

No Prob
