I distribute 5.32 and am using 5.39 myself now.
Had no problems with 5.39 and will probably put it up for general
user download on my help page soon.
The only thing I have noticed with all the drivers since 5.20 is if it
connects ok
then all of a sudden doesn't connect (which happens every couple of days on
my machine that is on 24 hrs/day), rebooting always returns it to normal.
Multiple call attempts never works. Once it fails it will never
connect decently until a reboot.
