V1.5b FR/US 30/09/97
--------------------
Better results to receive calls.
CAPI 2.0 don't work with Win95 OSR2 (a file is
missing).
Problem known at uninstallation: the
uninstaller forget to clear some files.

RMSXFLS.EXE from DISK2 to clear to files forgotten.
V1.5c FR/US 15/10/97
--------------------
- VXD's organisation modifications, in order to
solve various hang up with PC Rider 128 (ATA, fast connection/deconnection
cycles).

A/, ...).
Public :
- CAPI Installation : Into previous releases,
CAPI installation under Windows 95 OSR2 don't work (VCAPID.VXD was deleted).
- Corrections into languages English and German
(menus and configuration assistants).
- Corrections for parity function (HyperTerm
can't change it into previous releases).

(command +++).

- Auto answer mode: ATS0=0 now display RING's.
- Fix problems with Windows 95 Remote Access
Server (RAS).

connection error, the modem reset done by Shiva killed the SX128 modem.
- Remark: Shiva Remote Connect has a problem in
TAPI mode. It doesn't dial the last digit of a phone number. Solution: add a
dummy digit at the end of phone number (ex: to call 12 34 56 78 with Shiva and
SX128 - WAN Miniport Adapter, you must call: 12 34 56 78 9).
- Shiva Remote Connect can't work into CAPI
mode currently.
- Uninstallation: the uninstaller RMSXFLS.EXE
clear all the files (except the modems installed into Control panel).
- Added: virtual modems "SX128 MODEM
PPP", "SX128 MODEM V120", "SX128 MODEM X75", to avoid
to change protocol into the SX128 panel control.
These modems automatically sent init strings to
set the protocol.
To add one of these modems: go into Control
Panel / Modems, then "Add", display list, constructor:
"ComOne".
Constructor name (ComOne) will change for the
next release.
