Don,

When I backed up after first installing 1.63 all I had to do was swap the 
executable mmtty.exe which I has saved aside.

I too had these problems using 1.63, writelog 37B and Win2000. I lost two 
different 30 minutes periods reloading my computer (I see one advantage of 
running two computers like you do, going to have to think about that 
further) I managed to get two messages queued up in the transmit buffer so 
that everytime I pressed a function key the message from the previous 
function key went out. That certainly led to confusion. Had to restart WL 
to cure that.

What I did find was that by disabling my Norton Internet Security and 
Antivirus, I ran the last 8 hours without mishap. Had to disable my Network 
card because I now have a DSL connection.
