That doesn't appear to exactly be true. I had to load 1.30 to use Win95 (and NeXTSTEP), and figured I'd load 1.40 cuz newer has to be better. After loading it and restarting, Win95 suddenly pops up and says "New hardware detected", and wanted me to insert a driver disk. Turns out it had discovered the MWave DSP, and of course I have no driver disk for that (*anyone* got that MWave for Win95 disk?). Now I cannot use the MWave modem under Win95 anymore. It just locks the computer up when I open COM2. The *good* news is though, now NeXTSTEP seems happier. I can now actually suspend the computer, besides the previously supported standby mode. Hibernate doesn't work, but I don't really care about that. Now I can actually close the lid while NeXTSTEP is running and not hang it! :-) --- Chris Osborn, Network Administrator Voice: 707 253 3130 Napa Valley College Fax: 707 253 3063 2277 Napa-Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, 94558 <fozztexx@nvc.cc.ca.us> MIME ok, NeXTMail tolerated
