* Fragmented UDP and TCP packets could be forwarded incorrectly.
* RIP-Use-Multicast caused system to reject RIP-v2 broadcasts.
* Local DNS table did not work on slot cards that support DNS.
* MAX TNT did not broadcast RIP on WAN with RADIUS Framed-Routing.

Rockwell code versions:
* Series56 Digital Modem Modules support Rockwell 2.084 firmware, which
includes support for V.90, K56flex, K56plus, and all slower, standard modem
speeds.
* V.34 Digital Modem Modules support Rockwell 1.610g19.

Known issues:
* If you replace an older Ethernet card with the new Ethernet-2 card, you
must write new Ethernet profiles for the new card. The old  Ethernet
profiles do not carry forward.
* When  booting, after the slot cards complete their power-on self tests,
the MAX TNT may continue to not accept calls for a few seconds. Immediately
thereafter, full operation resumes.
* This release is not recommended for use with DM48-v.34 cards under heavy
load.
* Configurable receive and transmit data rate limits are not supported on
the DS3 ATM card. They are supported on the CAP-RADSL, SDSL, and
unchannelized DS3 cards.
