- Actually, I didn't attempt to open the 1.4 FIRMWARE UPGRADE'S
- supporting text file or anything because of the warnings I had read in
- this newsgroup. I was a little annoyed because the Cardinal BBS had no
- warnings that I could find, and the sysop didn't respond to my e-mail.
- Once I got card technical support's e-mail, they were very prompt with
- their warning and explanations.
-
- I did get the Faxworks answering machine to work by adding #CEXT=0 to
- the init string.
-
- I just installed cybercom.drv and got an immediate 115200/ARQ connect,
- when the windows 3.11 driver only gave me 2400/ARQ.
