PowerTalk 1.2.3 & Sys 7.5 Update 2.0: Install Questions (3/96)

I have a few questions regarding PowerTalk 1.2.3 and System 7.5 Update 2.0.

1) Question: Are there any reasons for users not to use their old PowerTalk Setup Preferences with the old keychain information? Assuming these preference are not corrupted, is this an OK to do?

2) Question: Are there any issues with the MailLink PowerTalk gateways with System 7.5 Update 2.0 and PowerTalk 1.2.3?

3) Question: Will Direct Dialup be recognizable as a Custom Install option using the System 7.5 Update 2.0 CD-ROM disc PowerTalk Installer, or will it be part of the Easy Install? Also will it update Direct Dialup if present, and how will users add Direct Dialup if they haven't used it before?
1) Answer: If you are a current PowerTalk user, you should run System 7.5 Update 2.0 and then install PowerTalk 1.2.3. Although PowerTalk may be functional after the update but before installing PowerTalk 1.2.3, the tested and recommended configuration is to update to PowerTalk 1.2.3. This presents one small problem. The PowerTalk 1.2.3 software is posted online and is included on the System 7.5 Update 2.0 CD-ROM disc but it is not included as part of the floppy disk set. So if you download System 7.5 Update 2.0 you should also download PowerTalk 1.2.3.

This procedure will preserve all existing PowerTalk settings, aliases, passwords, and so on. You should not have to touch any of the preferences files.

2) Answer: The gateways were tested for compatibility with System 7.5 Update 2.0. They were tested extensively for the System 7.5.3 release.

3) Answer: Direct Dialup and the other gateways are all manually installed, therefore the updates must also be manually installed. Each of the Direct Dialup or gateway installers can be used to install the software for the first time or update the existing one.
