          1. Enhancements

          A diagnostic program has been added called portman that pro-
          vides port monitoring, statistics, simple loopback, and data
          capture.  See manual page for more information.

          Two options has been added to the realport drivers that  are
          supported  by  ditty.   The  printer option will hold a port
          open forever to allow  the  flags  to  remain  sticky.   The
          cltime  option  allows the user to set a delay time to allow
          data to drain properly when the port  is  closed.   See  the
          ditty manual page for more information.

          2. Problems Fixed

          A problem was fixed where a possible race  condition  during
          the port open caused a kernal panic.

          A problem with flow control was fixed during the close  pro-
          cedure.

          It was possible for a nohup'ed process on one of  the  Real-
          Port  ports  could  have prevented the ncxd daemon from res-
          tarting.  This has been fixed.

          A "device busy" error was reported on the  ports  after  the
          PORTS  modules  were  removed  and  replaced.  This has been
          fixed.

          3. Limitations

          If the network  connection  is  lost  between  the  Realport
          driver  and  the  PortServer,  it  may  take several minutes
          before communications can be re-established with  the  Port-
          Server.
