ECO Kit Description
-------------------

The DS500 Release Notes contain a complete explanation of this release. 
Below is a brief description: 

	 o When trying to connect to another service on a  device  (such  as
           MUXserver 320), the user gets a "Access denied" in reject message.

	 o Host gets "Queued Entry Deleted By Server" message.
	   Queued entries on the server will randomly get deleted by the
           server.  The entry gets deleted after its 60 second timer times 
	   out to send a status message.

         o Group Codes In  Node  Database  Don't  Change  After  Multicast
           Message Change.

         o Server port appears to be hung after opening both sessions on a
           multisession terminal.

	 o Server crashes immediately after connecting to a local defined
           service.
	     
	 o Password would not be accepted when connecting to a protected
           service. 

	 o Multisession session appears hung after VT520 user closes a
           session and tries to reopen it.

	 o Multisession port hangs after user continuously switches from one
           session to another and typing Control C (which causes host to 
           send a attention slot to abort/flush sending previous data).

	 o System has a memory resource problem.  This problem is caused  by
           a stackguard failure.

	 o Memory fills to 100% usage and buffers are full. System then
           appears hung. Node limit is set to 200.

	 o A port hangs when a connection is made to a VAX system.
           Generally on a remote port with roundrobin connection service on the
           modem.

         o Ports are hung up in an XOFF state.  They can be logged off, but
           others continue to get hung up in an XOFF state
