  Enhancements

      Only the countries supported by the individual host adapter ae
      selectable in the pick list.

      DataFire RAS B4ST support has been added.

      Modem support for additional countries added.

  Bug Fixes

      Minor interface glitches in the configuration application have been
      fixed.

      An problem executing the firmware on some adapters has been fixed.

      Fixed bug with DGDXB.NLM where use of the name "dgdxb" on the server
      console to access status and other functions failed to work on 
      Netware 5, but rather caused Netware to attempt to reload DGDXB.NLM. 
      You must now use "dxbutil" to access these functions.

      Fixed bug with DFCAPRAS.NLM where use of the name "dfcapras" on the 
      server console to access status and other functions failed to work 
      on Netware 5, but rather caused Netware to attempt to reload 
      DFCAPRAS.NLM. You must now use "dfcap" to access these functions.

      General firmware bug fixes.

  Known limitations

      This release has known fax issues.  This release is intended for
      NW Connect and NIAS use.

      Caller ID data is currently ignored.

      Channelized T1 Wink Digits are currently ignored.

      On Channelized T1 Wink Start Trunks without dial tone
      supervision, modems must be initialized with ATX3 for
      dial out.

      On Channelized T1 Trunks all calls are routed to the
      serial driver.

      On ISDN Trunks, voice calls are routed to the serial
      driver, digital calls are routed to the ISDN driver.

      Currently, modems are not automatically assigned to
      open serial ports when calls are received. They are
      assigned based on the timeslot of the call. Therefore,
      unless all the serial ports to the board are open, it is
      possible a call will not be answered.

      Large MLPPP bundles greater than 23 will fail.

      ISDN numbers must not contain any non-numeric characters
      (e. g. "-").

      On ISDN Trunks, the following rules are applied to modem
      dial strings:
       a) A comma (delay) in the first or second position is
          allowed,
       b) then the first non-numeric character terminates the
          dial string

       (e.g. 9,12345678 is a valid dial string and 9,1,234-5678
        is not)

  Manual Errata

      For both PRI and T1 configurations, 24 AIO ports will be reported per 
      line.  However for PRI configurations only 23 ports (PRI=23B+1D) will 
      actually be available.  This is normal. If this "extra" unavailable 
      port is of concern to you, please delete it.
      
         Note however, that if you change the configuration from PRI to T1, 
	 this deleted port will have to be manually readded or you will not 
	 have access to the full 24 ports under T1.


      When manually copying the driver files to a server for installation
      with Novell's INSTALL.NLM, files must be copied to a subdirectory named
      RAS. However, this subdirectory can be on any path. The following examples
      will all work: 
      
                SYS:RAS   
                SYS:DIGI_TMP\RAS
		SYS:\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\SUBDIR3\RAS


      All boards should be reconfigured by deleteing the
      SYS:SYSTEM\DIGIINTL\*.cfg configuration files and using the
      DGRASCFG.NLM utility.

      If DGMNGR.NLM reports an error during initialization one should delete
      the *.cfg files (EXCEPT FOR DFCAPRAS.CFG) from the SYS:SYSTEM\DIGIINTL
      directory and reconfigure the digital lines.

      For modem initialization string use the Novell provided
          "Rockwell compatible 56k (56 Flex)" string.

      ISDN modem use ISDN(AT control) under standard Novell
      initialization strings.


      The following software modules have some command line options
      that could prove useful.
