I'd suggest getting the latest public 2.0 beta (2.0r-2). sorry about the
confusion about versions -- one of these days after current betas
stablilize just a little bit more, I plan to remove a lot of old versions.
2.0r-2 has a 45 day expiration, so you might want to wait until you've got
your modem working. (the 1.5-2 version has no expiration, but is missing
>2 years of bug fixes)
