One of their users has a wy60 with a modem and attaches to the brach to print reports,etc... (we weren't actually made aware of this until aprox 6months after installation) :-(...... anyway, we currently have the scenario of "well it used to work OK! fix it!" so from this I'm running with the assumption that the terminal is OK, as it had worked previously.....
