Remember, you're talking to someone who stayed with 7.5.2 and got on fine
with it... Actually, I still help out the fellow that bought the 7500 in
question (how did I *ever* think it was fast?) and the original
installation of 7.5.2 is still rock solid.

I suspect I will switch to 8.5 or 8.6 (roll on) some time, simply because
although 8.1 is working just beautifully, and is nicely crash resistant by
comparison with 7.5.2, I'd like to get rid of this harmless little
Eudora/HFS attachment bug.

In what way is the Remote Access system better than OT/FreePPP? Not said in
a spirit of challenge- I'd genuinely like to know.
