 Added features in version 6.16.5
 ================================

 A parameter to enable/disable the SLP-protocol is added, thus is 
 now possible to turn off the SLP multi-casts.

 The NetBIOS frame type parameter now defaults to 802.2,  this is 
 to get rid of all the traffic at start-up that is needed for auto-
 detection of the NetBIOS frame-type.

 When doing a factory default using the test button ALL parameters, 
 including the node address, the IP address, and the DHCP parameter, are
 set to their default values. Note that this will enable DHCP.
 A factory default from the internal web pages, (a Software Default) will 
 behave as previously, i.e. it will not affect these three parameters.

 Corrected problems in version 6.16.5
 ====================================

 The APS port order is corrected:
     9900    lpt1
     9901    com1
     9902    lpt2

 In classical parallel port modes (Standard, IBM-PC) correct print-
 status is assured, (correct pin-status) before the printing is
 started.

 Known limitations in version 6.16.5
 ===================================

 HP WebJetadmin is neither tested nor supported with this release.

 Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented.

 With some printer models printing is prevented unless printer info
 management is disabled. In these cases the printer display
 is flashing "Processing Job" with 5 second intervals.

 Reverse data from the APS ports is disabled. 

 Users are recommended to use the native print monitor on Win2000/XP.
