 Added features in version 6.48
 ==============================

 Added "_" as an allowed character in DNS-names.

 Added three parameters for LLC type 2 configuration:
 * LLC Response Time 
 * LLC Receiver Ack Time 
 * LLC Inactivity Time

 Email notification is improved in that pin/port-status is used to 
 detect Offline and PaperOut status, as well as previous use of 
 extended status.

 The account list is increased to make room for around 100 entries.

 Added USB hub support to support printers that act as hubs, e.g. 
 Epson Photo 915 and Canon i475D

 Added a parameter to select default IP frame type
 * Default IP Ethernet Frame Type

 When the printer supplies power on pin 18 of the parallel port and no
 external power supply is connected the USB port is disabled.
 (Applies to hardware revision 02 (P/N 0188-xxx-02 or 0193-xxx-02) and newer.)

 Added a printer driver to the SCS-emulator. It is a new Epson LQ driver
 that handles line density settings better, e.g. it can set the line density
 to exactly 8 LPI.

 Corrected problems in version 6.48
 ==================================

 When presenting printer information, the support for the printer's 
 display character set is improved.

 Querying for information from the printer has been improved.

 Appletalk support is improved:
 * config printer is advertised 
 * two printers are advertised per port.
 * Auto detect printer type is now turned on/off individually for each port.
   - default value is on
   - default type is Laserwriter

 FTP has been improved in that if a print-job is closed with a reset 
 (RST) from the host, the received data is only discarded if RST arrives 
 before FIN. 

 The replies sent when probed for status by Windows "Standard TCP/IP port" 
 are corrected.

 USB support is corrected: if a print-job is started before a printer  is 
 connected, the data will be printed when the printer has been connected.

 TN5250e end-of-job handling is improved.

 When a TN5250e-parameter is changed only the affected TN5250e-session is
 restarted.

 Both padded and unpadded RIDIC recorded G4 MMR encoded IO-images are now
 handled in IPDS-emulator.

 Prevent using an uninitialized pointer while traversing a parameter 
 information list.

 Prevent multiple deallocations of lustat structures.

 Improved stability during LLC disconnections.

 A Twinax laser printer emulation combined with a matrix printer generated
 an extra line feed in the first print job after starting the print session.
 This is corrected.

 The size of four fonts (5687, 5707, 5815 and 5835) in the IPDS PCL-driver
 is corrected.
