Dear Suresh
1. Yes, the 6.8 versions of Adagio are 32-bit applications and accomodate faxing in 32-bit O/S's where the older 16-bit versions did not. (The 6.8 version of Adagio Receivables has yet to be released though.)
2. In versions prior to 6.8, although we did not think this was necessary originally, we do recommend those settings. Especially if Adagio is to be used with ACCPAC Plus, where these requirements are necessary. In the 6.8A ADS versions the same would apply if using with ACCPAC Plus, however, where Adagio only is installed, I will have to look into this further and get back to you.
