Mark,

ECSb.zip only contains ecs.exe. ecs.htm and upd.txt.  Do I need to rename my
vr.exe file to sr.exe?  I assume that I must rename the associated VR items
in ecs.cfg with the new names?

You had mentioned that you were going to add something so that ECS did not
hang up on phone messages that were less than 10" (user defined I beleive).
Is this here or still forthcoming?
