No, single address NAT is not in 5.0B -- at least not the 5.0B in my
P75. NAT for LAN is in 5.0B. Since I want single address NAT, I'm
stuck.

I got an email on 8/11 from Ascend Support telling me that single
address NAT would be in the next release which was due out about a week
ago. To quote the email, "We are expecting 5.1A software to be released
very shortly, probably in the next 2 weeks, which will have a release
for both the old hardware, as well as the new hardware, and it will
incorporate all of the new features introduces in the 5.0Ai incremental
branch of software, including one to many NAT." About three weeks have
passed since 8/11 and now I hear a few more weeks and, by the way, it
won't be called version 5.1. Just exacly what is the story? It's hard
to know what to plan for when the target keeps moving.
