Since there does not appear to be any likelihood that uart will be fixed, I figure I will be stuck in 7.4 forever. But what does that mean in the not too distant future when 7.4 is no longer supported? Is there some way to prepare for that eventuality? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
