Re: [Openvpn-users] Re: Tray Showing for OpenVPN GUI Problem

[Lonnie Cumberland <lonnie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Haven't heard anything back on the list about the new version with the 
fix for the openvpn gui that we have been talking about and wanted to 
make sure that my email was working so that  I can download it when it 
is ready.

Looking forward to getting it installed.

Cheers,
Lonnie
