Hi
Thanks for your reply. However, I was just wondering what you meant when
you said:
"It is possible that it is a modulation specific stability issue in the HSF
driver and simply installing a valid license might cure the problem as
another modulation is likely to be used."
...could you please explain what you mean by a "modulation specific
stability issue"? How exactly installing a valid licence help this?
I have been considering upgrading to the full 56k driver, but I need to know
that it will work first before I do and that I won't continue to get these
crashes. I know the driver is binary, but would it be possible to run any
sort of debug mode to get more information on the problem, etc? And if it
is a bug in the driver, is it likely to be fixed in any future updates (have
you come across any reports of problems like this before?)
Thank you,
Luke Sharkey
