I agree in principle with Arpad, however I wonder how easy it is to contact a local AE in Iran where the original poster's question emanated from? Directing the query to the vendor's main support or sales address would have been the preferable course of action. However, note that he received an answer to his question inside 6 hours, most likely a lot faster than he would have received a response via the politically correct channels. -Ray Muranyi, Arpad wrote: >Actually, in my humble opinion, the first question shouldn't >have been asked on this list.
