TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS 5.1 Access Server These versions of the AS Client will provide seamless handoff between Access Servers only with AS-2000 software versions 2.01 or above. They will connect but not support handoff when used with AS-2000 software versions 1.56 or 1.56.02. 5.2 International Versions of Microsoft Windows In previous versions of the AS Client some international versions of MS Windows were not supported. Version 2.10 universal installer was designed with the intent to support all international versions and compatibility should not be dependent on the international version. Although we have not tested with all international versions and combinations of the operating system, we believe that most versions will be supported. We have not encountered in version 2.1 an international version with which the AS Client was not compatible. 5.3 Support for Embedded Mini-PCI cards In Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 Support for Embedded Mini-PCI cards in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 is provided in Release 2.15.

This functionality has only been tested with Avaya and Compaq OEM NIC cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
