Have you ever had to re-install your operating system because of Delrina
Fax Pro?  Faults I can cope with, sometimes, but...  The GV software has
been responsible for untold numbers of crashes and hangs on my Performa
475, large amounts of HD damage, and so on, under System 7.1 and 7.6.
It's so poor that I dare not connect to the internet with any part of
the GV software installed - doing so virtually guarantees some sort of
problem - anything from an inability to connect wth using PPP and TCP/IP
to a system freeze and serious HD damage.

I gather that not everyone has had my experience, but I've read of
enough people having similar serious problems because of the GV software
that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
