For maximum performance and reliability when you run DynamicAccess 
software, 3Com strongly recommends that the latest Microsoft Service 
Pack for that operating system be installed on any computer on which 
you plan to install DynamicAccess software.  The Service Pack levels 
that were current at the time of product release are as follows: 

--> For Windows 95: either the Windows 95 OSR2 release or Windows 95 with Service Pack 1 
--> For Windows NT 3.51:  Service Pack 5  
--> For Windows NT 4.0:  Service Pack 3 

To determine whether you have Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 95 with 
Service Pack 1, right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties.  
In the General tab, the notation 4.00.950 B indicates that the OSR2 
release of Windows 95 is installed.  The notation 4.00.950a indicates 
that Service Pack 1 for Windows 95 is installed. 

To determine the Service Pack level for Windows NT, check the displayed 
Service Pack level on the boot screen. Or, open the Control Panel 
and select About Windows NT from the Help menu.  Check Microsoft's 
World Wide Web page for the most current Service Pack at
