- Here's what is happening: every morning I sign on to my service

- Bitsurfer Pro IS NOT "clearing" or "resetting" itself. I have now found
- that by unplugging and replugging the power supply after I have signed off

- of a way other than (manualy unplugging and replugging the power supply)
- to make the BSP clear itself when a data call is terminated? Shouldn't it
- do this automaticaly?
-
- I'm using trumpet winsock, an internet software package called Internet
- Valet, and the configuration manager software that camw w/ the BSP.
-
- Thanks for any help!
