Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V2 #1061

Jim,

New 5769TC1 PTF SF53486 will cure you.  Be sure to read the cover letter.  
Carefully.  It will detect lost connections quicker and more reliably,
by letting the stack do it.

PTFs by release:

        5763TC1 V3R2 Need volunteer for Test PTF SF53481
        5716TC1 V3R7 Need volunteer for Test PTF SF53483
        5769TC1 V4R1 Need volunteer for Test PTF SF53485
        5769TC1 V4R2 SF53486
        5769TC1 V4R3 SF53489

If you'd like to volunteer, contact Jeff Millen in Rochester
through your normal support channels.  I'm sure he will thank
me for posting this....(smile).
