This may be slightly off topic, but your mention of firewall makes me
wonder if there are firewalls that do have trouble with book port
updates. I am about to upgrade to a faster internet connection and I
want JAWS and Book Port to work. Any suggestions for firewalls. Does
the one in Windows XP pro work well enough, or should I go with
something that people have used with no such trouble as was mentioned in
the message below?
Thanks for your help.
Neal
? Thanks.

Hi, Walt and Larry. I believe I goofed as well, smile. I installed the
updated transfer software and then attempted to install the firmware
release
and ran into near disaster. The firewall kept trying to block access
apparently. Book Port would lock up. I had to do two reformats of the
card
because I kept getting errors that there no files even after I got the
manual back onto the book port. I finally after two battery removals
and
two reformats finally got the firmware to install. My batteries were at
100
percent when I did all of this stuff. Sorry that I cannot be more
specific
about what errors occurred. I'm just happy that I got things
straightened
out.
Mike
