Roger,

I have just upgraded my Courier to USRs v34plus (the finished, pucker software).  I
installed it via my 486 card and (so far!) everything seems fine.  Logs onto Demon
OK.  You have to program the modem with a few AT commands before the modem is
useable again.  I will look in the manual and tell you which ones if you want.
