Hi Roger,

There was some USB suport in W4 but USB has advanced a lot since then. I used
Warp 4 USB to access my Camera prior to moving to eCS.

 RN> Thank you, Peter.  It takes about $249 for eCS and if I

As of about 2 days ago V2.0 had still not been released, although there are
betas of V2.0 available to registered users.

I upgraded to eCS 1.2 from a W4 License, and that reduces the cost somewhat.

 RN> I hope those people aren't as paranoid as M$.

Never....;-)

 PK> My BBS still runs on Warp 4 and it will continue to do so for as

 RN> Not many callers for it as just about everyone uses the

I still get around 40 PSTN calls a month here so there is still some activity.

 PK> eCS upgrades just about everything to the latest levels, and it

Anything that can burn an ISO image to CD will do it fine.

Good luck..........pk.
