I've tried 7.0.22 and immediately ran into pausing problems so horrid that I
couldn't stand it.  Every couple minutes all data would just stop
transmitting, then resume...  Moving back to 6.1.24 resolved the problem.

Aside from the modem code problems in 6.1.24 with Winmodems, it has been the
most stable release for us.  Every other release we've tried has been
complete and utter shit.  (Right lmb?)  I cannot understand why Ascend lets
these releases out with such obvious problems.  And I cannot understand why
another 6.1.x release was not released with updated modem code.  Insane.
