Restrictions:
=============
This software should not be installed with AppleTalk Internet Router and
Appleshare client on a Macintosh with only 1 Megabyte of memory.
 
 
Release notes for each item follow:
 
AppleTalk version 58.0
======================
 
Adds support (instrumentation) for SNMP. Also includes continuing support
for
Apples Router.
 
 
Network Control Panel version 3.0
=================================
 
The Network Control Panel now has an easier to use interface. It allows
easier
selection of zones on extended nets and shows the version of AppleTalk and
the
connection that is in use. It also better supports System 7 features such
as
Balloon Help and color icons. Built-in Ethernet connections are now
distinguished from connections facilitated by drop-in cards by a special
icon.
 
When an extended net with more than one local zone is selected, the current
zone indication will become a pop-up menu. Selecting a zone from this list
will
make that zone the current zone.
 
Additional AppleTalk status is shown in the lower half of the control
panel.
The version number of the installed AppleTalk is shown, as well as the
version
of the currently selected connection.
 
 
EtherTalk 2.5 & TokenTalk 2.5
=============================
 
Adds support (instrumentation) for SNMP. Also includes continuing support
for
Apples Router.
 
 
All Ethernet and Token Ring Driver Updates
==========================================
 
Adds support (instrumentation) for SNMP.
 
 
A/ROSE 1.1.9
============
 
This provides communications facilities for the EtherNet NB Card and the
Token
Ring 4/16 Card. This version minimizes processor performance degradation
required to ensure reliable communications on 68030-based Macintoshes, and
incorporates new code to allow correct functionality on the Macintosh IIvi,
IIvx and Performa 600.
