	I was interested in knowing if anyone has received any
	of the re-released Gateway 2000 Fax-Modem boards. In the
	letter I received I believe they stated they hoped to
	fill all outstanding orders by the middle of August but
	I have not heard of anyone actually receiving one.Thanks
	in advance!

I received mine last night.  It connected at straight 9600 when I 
dialed in to school (which is all they have).  I then called
the Hayes BBS and it properly connected at v.32b with v.42.  I then
sent a fax from Word for Windows to my wife's fax machine and she 
says it looks great.

Flawless performance so far.  They include a Crosstalk4Win update
(ver. 1.2.2?) that lets you set the speed to 38.4k and 57.8?
so you can take advantage of data compression.  I also got 
the books and disks for Xtalk, QModem, and Winfax.

The board itself looks kludgey with a mini board slapped on top
to correct the flaw and some jumper wires running 1/4 the board
length.

Mine was ordered right at the end of March.  I assume they
are working in chronological order so infer what you can.
