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?)
