Neal;
THANK YOU for your extremely prompt reply! (Wow..!) I had been
reading down the many messages on the reflector, and thought that the
"legacy" question just needed to be asked! -Then, I saw that my answer
was quite possibly answered a few messages down! ( It referenced
http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50433.aspx) -This might
have entirely answered my question, but your answer is very clear, by
comparison. (THANK YOU, again!!) Somehow, I had obviously assumed that
the legacy driver was a possible point of interest in all Windows OS
versions.
