-
- Gateway had an early problem with the modem, it has been redesigned
- and works great. The only problem is with the software, Gateway
- advertises CrossTalk for windows 2.0 but ships version 1.2.2.
-
- I called Gateway and was told, 2.0 will be available for a fee in
- about a month, However, I called DCA and they told me if
- I bought Crosstalk for Windows 1.2.2 in the last 2 months I needed to
- send them a copy of my sales receipt
