NOTE:
=====
On Macintosh computers with a 68040 microprocessor (Quadra, Centris, and Performa 470 series), some programs may quit unexpectedly or cause the computer to freeze when you attempt to open them over the network. This problem is fixed by using the Network Launch Fix available from AppleLink or the InterNet (ftp.apple.com).

Restrictions:
=============
This software should not be installed with AppleTalk Internet Router and AppleShare client on a Macintosh with only 1 Megabyte of memory.

If this release of the Network Software Installer is being used in conjunction with an Apple Internet Router v. 3.0 Installer, Router 3.0 _must_ be installed first. This will ensure that the Router installation does not overwrite the newer AppleTalk software contained on NSI 1.4.2.


Release notes for each item follows:

AppleTalk version v58.1.3
========================
The ADSP probe timer won't be reset for every attention packet. This keeps the window sizes updated on each end.

SCC LocalTalk Driver v58.2.2
============================
A fix was made for a slowdown that occurred when using FileShare and ARA Personal server on 680x0 Macintosh computers while communicating with Power Macintosh computers.
