 Added features in version 6.15
 ==============================

 TCP/IP silent startup is added in this release, connections to the
 print server might not be possible during the time, typically 
 45-60 seconds, the boot protocols require for startup.

 No ping during boot functionality is added, during the boot-
 procedure the print server will not respond to the PING (ICMP ECHO)
 command.
   
 Ip setting via SLP is added. This is in order to support the use of 
 AXIS IP Jumpstarter to manage this print server.

 This release allows the network speed to be configured manually. 
 A choice between  10 Mbit, 100 Mbit half duplex or auto sensing.

 The parallel port can now be used in an additional mode, HINOACK.

 If required the parallel port can be manually configured to be
 uni-directional. The bi-directional functionality is turned off.

 An additional timeout parameter is added that determines how long to 
 wait for data from the printer after a print job is finished.
