Mark,
I downloaded the software to try and could not communicate with my 28.8 modem.
The software made no provisions to adjust the set-up string for the modem type
and they only listed a small number of modems. The software is DOS/Windows only
(no MAC version). If I am not mistaken after the initial free trial there was a
per document charge for retrieving information of $1.??.

If you want them all for a 92 I do not think $15.00 is out of line. If you have
any kind of relationship with the parts or service manager at the local
dealership I would think you could work out some deal to print/copy the ones you
want.

When I purchased my 89 Shelby Daytona I asked the parts manager at the dealer I
buy parts from about recalls. He ran off and came back a few minutes later with
a print out of all the Daytona Recalls and it identified the only one that
applied to my car and because I gave him the VIN the print out even indicated
that it had been done on my car.
