I can't buy 3.51 for my 7300 (it's a work machine, and such budgetary "fluff" isn't allowed), so fixing 3.5 is appealing to me. I have two questions: 1. what does the 3.5 FIXDISK fix? 2. can I get it anywhere? Actually, my 7300 works pretty much to my satisfaction with 3.5, but if I can get the 3.5 FIXDISK contents free somewhere, I'd like to install it anyway (maybe it fixes the obnoxious Telephone Manager that dies every three days). Any leads would be appreciated! ---------------------------------------------------------- Vince Guinto att!cblph!vjg AT&T Bell Laboratories Columbus, OH

The fix disk is FREE. I used to have a list of fixes - but removed it when I upgraded to 3.51m. 3.51m is also free, and available from either AT&T or by anonymous uucp or anonymous FTP from Ohio State Univ.
