(ASCEND) Pipeline 75: single address NAT in version 5.0B?



I'm new to the list and to Ascend products, so please forgive me if this
question has already been discussed in detail.

I just bought a P75 which I will use to connect my home LAN to my ISP
and my company's network using "single address NAT".  The P75 is one of
the newer units (serial # > 722xxxx) running software version 5.0B.  The
document titled "Pipeline Cumulative Release Notes 5.0Ai" descibes the
exact functionality I need, however, the functionality described by
these release notes does not appear to be in my P75.  The version
numbering would imply that 5.0B is more current that 5.0A, but I'm
beginning to wonder whether some functionality from earlier incremental
releases did not make it into 5.0B.

I guess my questions boil down to:

1. Am I right that 5.0B doesn't contain the single address NAT
funtionality from the 5.0Ai16 release?

2. If the answer to #1 is yes, does anyone know when this capability
will be added to 5.0B, or whether there is a short-term workaround? 
BTW, the release notes that came with the P75 say I cannot load a
version of software older than 5.0B.

Thanks in advance for any help.
