=================================
Problems Truncating Data When Sending and Open Transport 1.0.1
--------------------------------------------------------------
This patch fixes a problem truncating data when sending, which occurred with the Open Transport TCP backward compatible (MacTCP) interface. Using Open Transport 1.0 in certain situations, the connection could be closed before all of the data was transferred. In this case, the receiver would get a short file, missing some of the bytes at the end, and may not have (depending on the application used) received an error indicating this problem had occurred.
Changes in Open Transport 1.0.1 for SLIP/PPP LAPs From Open Transport 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a crash that would occur shortly after the completion of automatic connection with some LAPs (Link Access Protocol) like MacPPP and MacSLIP. This would occur when the LAP displays a dialog box during its connection establishment.
NOTE: With Open Transport 1.0 and 1.0.1, automatic connections are possible only for direct connections or very rapid modem connections (less than 15 seconds).
* Open Transport now works correctly with InterPPP or MacPPP when they coexist in the same System Folder with other SLIP and PPP LAPs. With Open Transport 1.0, InterPPP or MacPPP could be selected in the TCP/IP control panel, but they couldn't connect if they existed in the same System Folder. For example, the connect button of the Config PPP control panel of MacPPP would be dimmed.
* Fixed problem with MacSLIP. With Open Transport 1.0, MacSLIP could be selected in the TCP/IP control panel, but opening a TCP/IP endpoint would fail. Typically an application would display an alert like "Cannot open name resolver".
