INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Extract this file to a temporary directory.

2.  Rename the CSATPXY.NLM which exists in SYS:SYSTEM.

3.  Copy the new CSATPXY.NLM from the temporary directory, to SYS:SYSTEM.

4.  Restart the server.

ISSUE: 

If a connection is made to port 2000, where CSATPXY.NLM is listening, and
improper data is entered, CSATPXY may attempt to allocate a large amount of
RAM, eventually causing the server to crash.  This version of CSATPXY.NLM will
now only allow 100K to be allocated at a time.

It is also recommended that, if Packet Filtering is running on your server, you
modify the filters to not allow connections to port 2000 on your public
interface.
