I've been using the latest version of the driver, >1.0.0b5, for over a year now. The info page was last updated over >two years ago. Yeah, I know. The documentation with the driver is for OS 10.1. :-) But I was actually referring to *my* logging of information, which also comes from input from other users (like this list, for instance). So -- hypothetically speaking -- what you or I may say about an open source item may not still be true several weeks or months from now, depending on how much activity there is in its improvement. Even though FreePPP wasn't open source (but freeware), I remember how quickly changes occurred in it during one particular stretch of time. >If you know of a newer version I'd be happy to hear about it!

But thanks for the clarification. It's beginning to look more and more like the IOXperts driver is a much better choice. Thanks Clark, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
