The following list describes changes and additions made to this software

.P
General changes:
.BL
.LI
Support has been added for modems that conform
to the EIA/TIA-592 Class 2.0 specification.
.LI
The software has been updated to work on IRIX 5.X systems.
.LE
.P
Changes in the prototype config files:
.BL
.LI
The AT&T DataPort Class 1 support now sets \f3NoCarrierRetrys\fP to 3 to
deal with the modem's braindamaged way of returning "\s-1OK\s+1" instead of
"\s-1NO ANSWER\s+1" when a dial request times out.
.LI
The Telebit file is now used for QBlazer modems with fax support.
.LI
There is a new file for the AT&T DataPort with Class 2 firmware.
.LI
There is a new file for the USR Courier with Class 2.0 firmware.
.LE
.P
Changes to the fax server:
.BL
.LI
It is now possible to override the \s-1+FDCC=?\s+1 query with fixed values
(this is to workaround a bug in the AT&T DataPort Class 2 firmware).
.LI
Practical Peripherals modems are now automatically recognized as
not properly handling the \s-1+FDIS\s+1 command and their capabilities are
restricted so that they work correctly (albeit in a limited configuration).
.LI
Most of the Class 2-related commands are now settable through the
modem configuration file.
.LI
The Class 1 and 2 drivers now interpret an "\s-1OK\s+1" result to a dial request
to mean "\s-1NO ANSWER\s+1" (for the AT&T DataPort).
.LI
The negotiated min scanline time can now be controlled through info files.
.LI
Jobs that encounter a protocol error are now retried more quickly
(see the \f3JobReqProto\fP configuration parameter).
.LI
The server status now reflects when it is preparing jobs for transmission.
.LI
It is now easier to fiddle with the job queueing parameters; the default
values can be overridden through the
\f3JobReqBusy\fP, \f3JobReqNoAnswer\fP,
\f3JobReqNoCarrier\fP, \f3JobReqProto\fP, and
\f3JobReqOther\fP configuration parameters.
.LI
It is now possible to control the \s-1UUCP\s+1 lock file timeout handling; see
the \f3UUCPLockTimeout\fP configuration parameter.
.LE
.P
Changes to the \f2faxaddmodem\fP program:
.BL
.LI
Support was added for Class 2.0 modems.
.LI
A warning is now generated if multiple prototype config files exist
for the same product ID code (for Class 1 modems).
.LI
If a modem supports multiple classes the user is prompted to choose
which class to configure.
.LE
.P
Changes in the utility code:
.BL
.LI
A new \f2typetest\fP program was added for testing typerules files.
.LI
The \f2xferstats\fP script now merges similar user accounts and is also
more careful about ignoring calls that fail during dialing\(emthis
makes the generated statistics more informative.
.LI
A new \f2faxcron\fP shell script is included for use on machines where
\*(FF servers are run.
.LE
.P
Changes to the manual pages:
.BL
.LI
\f2faxcron\fP\|(1M) is a new page that describes the maintenenance script
