We've been running 7.2.0 since it's release and it has been 
entirely(!) problem-free for us. We did briefly go to 7.2.3 (why?) 
but the TNT reset itself after a week, so we went back to 7.2.0. 
However, 7.2.3 seems to be working fine for others on the list using 
it. Something about our (quite basic) environment...

I'd suggest you download the release notes for 7.2.0 and 7.2.3 and 
see what's new and fixed. If you see enough things you like, try 
7.2.3. If it gives you problems, try 7.2.0.

The modem code updates in particular may help you out. We don't have 
many users with WinModems, thankfully. Just lots of Mac users.
