DESCRIPTION:  Use these files to upgrade Netelligent 8500

Version 1.12.

IOS0411.EXE (dated 4-11-97) has the following problems fixed: 

1.  ipxDestNextHopDestNum returns incorrect type in SNMP requests.
2.  IP route table has invalid or missing help information.
3.  IGRP does not choose the best of 2 available links.
4.  CFG command outputs garbage config,cli file if INIC is 
    configured. 
5.  BOOTP Relay not functioning for DHCP clients and servers.
6.  Stress test fails when running 1 or 2 PPP lines with compression.
7.  PPP does not interoperate with the latest 11.2 version of 
    Cisco 2500s. 
8.  If fragmentation is used at high speeds on Frame Relay, line 
    goes down in 2-3 mins.
9.  Problem loading Frame Relay on the 8500s if the compression 
    module is not present.
10. If the compressed frame turns out to be larger than the maximum 
    frame size compression resets occurs.
11. Frame Relay is talking to Cisco 2500 at T1 speed. After 2-3 
    minutes, PVCs become Inactive.
12. Backup feature of CCM is not working if backup line is on a 
    different WNIC than the backed up line.
13. While using CCM's backup feature, the backed up line cannot 
    be restored if the line is  using compression.
14. CCM's DDR Feature fails to make call after its SUSPENDed if 
    compression is enabled. The line uses PPP as the WAN protocol.
15. Modifier can change the login password even if he is not 
    supposed to be able to do so.
16. Compaq router internal clocking not working.
17. RIP updates contain bad routes to connected inic.
18. PPP LCP magic number sent with value =0 (zero).
19. SnapShot with INIC does NOT resume with traffic.
20. IGRP not working between Cisco and Compaq over Frame Relay.
21. CFG command may hang router if config.cli already exists.
22. After DELCFG and reboot, previously downloaded configurations 
    are ignored. 
23. IPXWAN2 does not interoperate correctly with Cisco IOS 11.2.

TLAN FIXES:
1.  Refined the delay loop to complete auto-negotiation within the 
    1.5sec duration. 
2.  Modified the driver to send loop back frames to detect link 
    status for both 10BaseT and 10Base2 connector types.
3.  Added minimal support for SystemLog() to log changes in link 
    status.

041497BX.BIN (dated 04-14-97) has the following fixes: 
SASH (Standalone Shell) Utility Version 1.12, 

1.  Unable to use any TFTP commands when a 0 is used as a single 
    octet.    
2.  Backup command gives no error message when path (C:\) is given.
3.  PASSWD command still in menu when it's no longer supported.
    Removed the PASSWD entry from the menu item's registry.
4.  Check command says "successful" after errors encountered.
5.  After a failed backup/restore/... SASH still allows user to 
    boot.
6.  Some commands still accept 0s before the slot#.
