In Preferences, added a new "Optimize settings for the
selected modem" button, which sets init strings, fax
class etc to best settings for the selected modem Quick Setup was not being done at first send/receive session, due to bug introduced in earlier version (this only effects first time users) Fixed several typos Changed the essfax_helper program (the window that shows up after printing to the EssentialFax printer) so it more consistently comes to the front of all windows after a print job (this was mostly a Windows vista problem) Changed essfax_helper so that if it gets an invalid print job it will exit properly |
