Just a quick question, if you don't mind..... Is the update Wizard going to be needed in the future for update to the Courier line? I wouldn't think so, but it never hurts to ask.

If not, what's the procedure (preferably one that won't cost me a half-hour of LD charges being on hold).

This sounds like a classic flow control problem to me. Make sure that you are using Hardware flow control with your Courier (AT&f1) and your Comdriver is using hardware flow control as well.
