IMPORTANT NOTE!
PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE INFORMATION IN THE SUPPLIED AMIGAGUIDE® DOCUMENT!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another PLIP device driver. PLIP means Parallel Line Internet
Protocol. Originally based upon the plip.device released by Oliver
Wagner and Michael Balzer, this version has been completely rewritten.
The main distinguishing features to the original version include
* Much more line security through machine independent timeout handling
* Option to omit CRC checks
* MTU 256 Bytes to 128KBytes
* Much better configurable, especially with regard to slow systems
* Major code cleanup, including the removal of assembler fragments,
globals, errors
* Several protocol stacks may use magPLIP simultaneously
* Installer script
* AmigaGuide® online documentation
Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide® document to obtain further
information about the installation and usage of magPLIP.
You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer
script. If you have any suggestions or comments please contact me:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 37.5
* on early startup time the MTU reported to protocol was not yet
the customized value but the default setting; At least Envoy
had problems with this bug
* Frame buffer handling is now done dynamically, MTU can be set to
values up to 128K. A large MTU increases performance for large
data transfers such as in a file-server system.
* Code more robust against initialization errors
* ENV: settings are better checked for validity
Release 37.4
* Some documentation changes
* minor changes in the transfer code
Release 37.3
* Timeout handling is now system independent and gives a great
improvement to configuration and line security
* ARBITRATIONDELAY no longer used, but supported for old config-files
Release 37.2
* Significantly better performance (transfer routines rewritten in
assembly language)
* internal code cleanup
Initial Release 37.1
