Can I have a quick spleen-vent about fsking stupid comms software installers that can't be bothered to work out what modem I've got (or even be sensible enough to ask me) and insist on installing a zillion CLLs[1]?

Oh bugger, I've just looked in the Printer Descriptions folder....:-( On that point, why on earth does OT need so many discrete shared lib files? - Have Apple forgotten what the Res manager does? rgds, Alan [1] Including the Apple Modem 2400 for goodness sake!
