We were shipped Cum C7105370 and applied it. The following Monday, any of our 
Windows 3.1 PCs using Rumba to connect got a message "File not found," (no 
filename specified) and were unable to connect to the 400. The only ones able 
to connect were those I usually yell at for not applying their updates <g>. The 
solution ended up being a reload of the 5763-XC1 Client Access for Windows 3.1 
licensed program.
