What is this version of Open Transport?

Open Transport 1.0.8 is a maintenance release of Open Transport networking
software.


What Macintosh systems are able to use this software?

Open Transport 1.0.8 is designed for installation on Power Macintosh 7200,
7500, 8500, and 9500 computers that have Open Transport version 1.0.6 or 1.0.7
and System Software 7.5.2 version 2 installed.  If you have a Power Macintosh
7200, 7500, or 8500, the correct version of system software is already
installed.  If you have a Power Macintosh 9500, check to see if ñSystem Enabler
1.1î is in your System Folder. If you have System Enabler 1.1, you have System
Software 7.5.2 version 2.  


Who needs this software?

Anyone that has a Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, 8500, or 9500 computer and is
experiencing one or more of the problems described below.


What has changed in this release?

This section documents only the changes made since version 1.0.7. Changes made
in earlier updates have been documented in the Read Me files accompanying each
version.

Changes to Open Transport AppleTalk software

´ DDP CheckSum 
Open Transport DDP now properly handles a checksum of $FFFF. In earlier
versions, the computer could appear to freeze because packets with a checksum
of $FFFF were rejected.

´ QuickMail out of sockets 
When attempting to verify addresses with the QuickMail 3.0.4 client, the
software would display the error message: ñNameServer Communications Error. 
Try again, or increase time outs for NameServer using QM Time outs.î This bug
has been fixed.

Changes to Open Transport TCP/IP software

´ BootP
Corrected a bug in the TCP/IP control panel that could, under some
circumstances, prevent accepting the gateway and domain name server addresses
provided by a BootP server. 

´ Eudora e-mail
Problems with sending mail from Eudora when using SLIP or PPP have been fixed. 

´ Aborting Netscape Connections
Aborting Netscape connections sometimes caused a crash when using Open
Transport. This problem has been fixed.

´ DHCP/Windows NT 
Previous versions of Open Transport TCP/IP software were able to obtain an IP
address and subnet mask, but no other settings, from Windows NT DHCP servers.
With this release, Open Transport TCP/IP explicitly requests a domain name,
default gateway address, domain name server address, subnet mask, and subnet
broadcast address in addition to an IP address.


Printing Problem with System 7.5.2 

On Power Macintosh 7200, 7500, 8500, and 9500 computers using System 7.5.2, it
may be necessary to restart your computer if you attempt to print to a
network-based printer that is already busy. The file ñ7.5.2 Printing Fix,î
which solves this problem, is available in the Apple  Software Updates areas on
AppleLink, eWorld, CompuServe, and on Apple's Internet Servers (including
ftp.support.apple.com and ftp.info.apple.com). The file is located in the Other
Printing folder inside the Printing folder in the U.S. Macintosh software
updates area.


Compatibility Problem with MacPPP and FreePPP

Power Macintosh computers using Virtual Memory (including RAMæDoubler)æmay
crash when using MacPPP 2.1.2SD or FreePPP (1.0 and 1.0.1). The crash occurs
when opening a PPP connection or during a data transfer. To avoid this problem,
turn off Virtual Memory.

This problem is not related to Open Transport, and is expected to be addressed
in a later release of FreePPP. To find out when the next FreePPP release is
available, look for an announcement in the comp.sys.mac.comm newsgroup. The
next version of FreePPP is expected to be available for ftp from the /comm/tcp/
directory of the InfoMac archives.
