I am talking to GW2000's add-ons people (really -- I'm on hold at the moment, and listening to Roy Orbison...) about software upgrades. They are apparently ready to ship WinFax Pro 3.0 and a new version of Crosstalk, for those of you who ordered the TelePath FAX/modem. Since my system is so new, the upgrades are *free*! In general, we are responsible for keeping tabs on upgrades for S/W we got through GW2000, so keep your noses in the Computer Mags and maybe even post when you notice an upgrade announcement... I know that this is questionable, since this is comp.sys.ibm.pc.HARDWARE, but it is software that our HARDWARE vendor is supplying -- maybe. Yes, maybe. I just got off the phone, and the rep I was talking to said that she'd just been told that GW2000 carries upgrades AT THEIR DISCRETION -- i.e., they're under no obligation to do so -- and gives free upgrades on the same basis. I'll have to wait 5-6 WEEKS for the free WinFax and Crosstalk upgrades (unless I successfully sweet-talked the add-on rep), but they will be free. For S/W that GW2000 chooses not to supply, you contact the vendor, and tell them that your S/W is licensed to GW2000, and they should treat you like a registered user (i.e., not charge you through the nose). I think that I saw someone mention CMS tape S/W verion 3.03? The one I got was 2.0. Also, I believe that I saw mention of DOS 6.0 due in 1Q93?
