But, very unprofessionally, released stuff which didn't compile, didn't install,
and had never been tested with fax software.
 
His frustration level is warranted as this has been a Microsoft quality patch
from day one.  When the CD's arrive from On-Disk I will take the time to backup
the 2.5 gig of stuff on my workstation, wipe, and do a clean install from the
LTS distro.  I will actually test it with fax since that is the only use I have
for a modem these days.
 
Actually, at this point, I'm feeling pretty sad about that box of Courier 14.4
external faxmodems I took to the electronics recycling center.  Yes, it would
have been another ugly bunch of cables, but I would have been free of this issue
and the Intel modem issue.
