- I was told on Thursday, that my upgrade ROMs (LA5.01) were shipping and
- to expect them on Monday. These are to fix the problems that I've had
- with uucico window sizes that are different from 3.
-
- I know of one other site that has already received their upgrade, though
- it was to correct a different problem.
-
- As for neighbors that have old eproms (4.00), we have had them all
- upgraded for FREE from telebit and the problems with those have gone
- away. I don't know if the 5.01 roms will have any effect on that.
-
- I would suspect that the reason why you can't dial in your your neighbor
- with the WorldBlazer is due to with UUCP G spoofing bug, but he should
- contact 1-800-TELEBIT for a more affirmative answer and upgrade if
- necessary.
