Hi Doug,
I noticed that you spoke of 5.1.12 and .13 - but what about the patches on
dialnet? Are they not "licensed"/"unofficial" patches because they were
"written" by other people.
I noticed also the appointment to SMP in relation with the patches and will try
them. The controllers are up to date and I think it is an hardware failure - but
I am not sure and therefore "damned" to test and test and test...
I won't offend you by pointing to the 5.1.6-patch as the lastest.
