Thanks. If you do see a problem, please submit a bug report for this so 
I can look into the issue.

I will do so. Please be patient with me as I am in the midst of trying 
to roll out the beta 2 release. It may be a few day until I can address 
this issue and get a build out for testing.

This has been mentioned before. I may attempt to implement this in the 
future but the current priorities are ...

1) Update the user documentation
2) Get the 2.0 product shipped
3) Fix the client to play nice with other installed clients
4) Get the 2.x drivers certified with MS
5) Finish off the initial BSD and Linux ports

... after which I will look at other features to include.

Thanks,

-Matthew
