ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for OPDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.1-1H2. 
This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems addressed in the ALPOPDR05_061 kit:

  o  Occassionally, when output is going to OPA1, a 'WRITE SYS$OUTPUT'
     timeout will occur.


Problems addressed in the AXPOPDR04_061 kit:

  o  The AXPOPDR01_061, AXPOPDR02_061 and  AXPOPDR03_061  kits  did
     not  apply  to OpenVMS AXP V6.1-1H2.  This kit takes the fixes
     from those previous kits and also applies them to V6.1-1H2.


Problems addressed in the AXPOPDR03_061 kit:

  o  The Alpha DEC 2000-300 system will not do MODEM control on port
     OPA1.  The following DCL command on port OPA1 will not work:

        $ SET TERMINAL/PERM/MODEM OPA1


Problems addressed in the AXPOPDR02_061 kit:

  o  When any OpenVMS AXP SMP (multi-CPU) system that has a modem
     connected to OPA1 tries to do a SET HOST/DTE, system access 
     succeeds but in a short time the machine will crash.


Problems addressed in the AXPOPDR01_061 kit:

  o  When a SET TERM/SPEED=xxxx is done on the serial port OPA1
     (the  small  MMJ connector on the back of DEC 3000-500 and DEC
     3000-400 systems) nothing happens.  The baud rate stays locked
     at 9600 no matter what it is set to.  A "SHOW TERM" indicates
     that the speed has been changed but the port still operates
     at 9600 baud.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster,  the 
entire cluster should be rebooted.
