You should join the Ultrasound mailing list. Among a whole bunch of
benefits like programers of software for the Ultrasound and Gravis
themselves are also on the list to answer questions, we also have 2 ftp
sarchive sites and 1 mailserver. And since Gravis does a bunch of stuff
in software, they can and have releases new versions of
software/fixes/patches and we have them in the ftp sites. For those
without ftp access, you can also call their BBS or ask them to mail it
to you. Among the new software available, we have a new set of install
disks and a new SETUP program. I'll send you the info on the mailing
list below...

Thomas.

	Greetings!

	There's been a lot of talk lately about the Gravis Ultrasound,
as well as the mailing list for it.  I thought I'd put in my two cents
worth on the topic, as I happen to know a little about the mailing
list... I'm the administrator.  :)

	To join, mail to the request server.  It will help you get
signed up.  This is also the address for accessing the mailserver.
Just send mail to:

	ultrasound-request@dsd.es.com

	To post a message onto the digest, mail to:

	ultrasound@dsd.es.com

	If you have trouble with the server, feel free to mail to:

	ultrasound-owner@dsd.es.com

	This will put you in touch with a real human.  If you can't
mail to that, just mail me directly and we'll figure something out.
The server isn't perfect, though, and I'd  really appreciate it if
you'd let me know what goes wrong with it if you try to use it and it
croaks. 

	Thanks for your time!

Note:

The FTP sites are archive.epas.utoronto.ca in directory pub/pc/ultrasound
and wuarchive.wustl.edu in directory systems/msdos/ultrasound.
