    Annex Communications Server R10.0B and Annex Host Tools R14.2 Release Notes

Table 2

 lists the operating system versions supported by R10.0 and 

the binary files that are provided on the distribution media.

Known Problems

The modems.annex file Cardinal V.34, Cardinal 56K, Motorola voice/
modemsurfer 56K, Penril V.34, Practical Perf V.34 and 56K, US 
Robotics 56K, Courier V.Everything, andZoom 56K.  f you have a 
modem from another vendor, you may have to update the 
modems.annex file.

Annex Manager R2.3 may incorrectly display IPX and AppleTalk as 
enabled software options in the Annex Info dialog box. The 
Communications Server release does not support either protocol. This 
misinformation only occurs in Annexes that have these protocols 
enabled in their current option key setting. Obtaining and loading a 
new option key eliminates the problem. 

When the Motorola V.3400 modem is used with either the Micro 
Annex XL or the RA2000, the connection is dropped as soon as DCD 
is asserted by the modem. The port must be configured for modem 
control and hardware flow control:

control_lines is set to both
