Look on www.gwinn.com and download the new beta! This in the
history.txt:

09-16-00 - Beta 009b

Well boys and girls this is really not a new beta, it is a re-release
of the 009/009a code to see if anything got broken during my two year
burn out sabbatical.

However, what I need to know is what problems are occurring.
PLEASE SEND REPORTS TO sio2k@gwinn.com.

There are some big changes coming in the next (real) beta release. I
have finally figured out how to automatically determine (at boot
time) if com.sys is loaded and what ports it is servicing.  This is
not as simple as one might think.

Anyhow, having this knowledge (about com.sys) at boot time will allow
sio2k to configure more automatically. The only thing that I will now
need in a config file is legacy ISA stuff. So, a completely changed,
and greatly simplified, config file is coming in a near future
release.

I have also contacted manufactures of PCI serial cards for
information, so support for more serial cards is coming.  If you want
to help see PCI.TXT.

I am going to drop the Hayes ESP support.  There is too much work to
do for a board that is 5 years out of manufacturing. If you like the
ESP, many of the newer PCI cards are just as good.

I am going to do away with the key file.  I decided that no matter
how hard I try, someone is going the figure it out and release a hack
to get around it.

Vmodem.sys will be changed so that the number of virtual modems to be
supported will be specified in its command line, and not in a config
file (as it now is done).

So, if my burn out is truly over, as I think it is, sio2k may finally
get to release.  I need the money too. :-)
