Conexant firmware versions:
V.34 "modem" V1.610G24-V34_DP

Known issues:
* Use of this release is not recommended with Rev. B or lower of the
Ethernet-2
card (TNT-SL-E10-100, part number 0800-0433-001). If you have a Rev. B or
lower Ethernet-2 card, contact your Ascend representative to obtain an upgrade
to Rev. C or higher. The Rev. B or lower cards continue to work with releases
earlier than 7.0.0.

* MP bonding of analog calls is supported, but some client modems and software
may have compatibility problems.

* 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.

* 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.

* Connection profiles for ATMP mobile clients ignore the Shared-Profile
setting. Shared-Profile is implicitly set to Yes for all ATMP mobile client
Connection profiles.

* LAN-Modem profiles contain entries for 96 devices. For 48-port modem cards,
only the first 48 entries are used.

* This release is not recommended for use with DM48-v.34 cards under heavy
load.

* In this release, if a Debug profile exists for the Series56-II card, the
card may generate messages such as the following during normal operation:
