<p>Apple Open Transport 1.1.1 Enhances Mac OS Networking Performance and<br />
Reliability</p>
<p>CUPERTINO, Calif.--Oct. 25, 1996--Apple Computer, Inc., today announced the<br />
availability of Apple Open Transport 1.1.1, an enhanced version of Apple's<br />
standards-based networking and communications system for Macintosh and Mac<br />
OS-compatible computers.</p>
<p>Significance</p>
<p>Open Transport 1.1.1 is an update for Mac OS-based systems currently<br />
running Open Transport 1.1, and is a recommended upgrade for all Open Transport<br />
users. In addition to bug fixes that increase overall compatibility,<br />
performance and stability, the update provides significant performance<br />
enhancements for Mac OS-based Internet and intranet servers and includes<br />
support for the new Open Transport/PPP implementation.</p>
<p>Additional Mac OS Systems Supported</p>
<p>Open Transport 1.0 began shipping in 1995 as a standard feature of Apple's<br />
new PCI-based Power Macintosh systems. Open Transport 1.1 added support for<br />
most 68030, 68040, and additional PowerPC-based systems, and was included in<br />
System 7.5.3. Open Transport 1.1.1 adds support for the additional<br />
PowerPC-based Mac OS systems, including 5200, 5300, 6200, 6300-series Performa,<br />
and Power Macintosh computers, which were not supported by Open Transport 1.1.<br />
The latest PowerPC-based Performa systems, including the popular Performa 6400,<br />
utilize PCI-bus and support both Open Transport 1.1, and Open Transport 1.1.1.</p>
<p>Improvements and Bug Fixes</p>
<p>Open Transport 1.1.1 includes a series of enhancements to its TCP/IP<br />
implementation that improves the performance and reliability of Mac OS-based<br />
Internet and intranet servers, including:</p>
<p>--Resolved a bug where busy web servers sometimes accepted no new inbound<br />
connections for about 30 seconds at periodic intervals;</p>
<p>--Optimized rate at which connections can be accepted and closed, increasing<br />
overall server capacity;</p>
<p>--Enhanced ability of developers to designate additional memory for Open<br />
Transport on dedicated server machines, thereby allowing better system tuning<br />
for server use;</p>
<p>--Enhanced the Domain Name Resolver code to better handle tens of thousands<br />
lookups done by busy web and Internet mail servers;</p>
<p>--Negated a cause of regular crashes on busy servers when large numbers of<br />
lookups were performed.</p>
<p>The update also includes improvements of interest to users of Mac OS-based<br />
client systems, including:</p>
<p>--Reduced or removed cases where Open Transport could cause memory<br />
fragmentation;</p>
<p>--Improved compatibility with the PowerBook sleep feature reducing the<br />
occurrence of freezes when waking from sleep and reducing the occurrence of<br />
being switched to LocalTalk when changing docks and waking from sleep;</p>
<p>--Enhanced compatibility with Apple Remote Access (ARA), reducing the<br />
occurrence of situations where some network devices could not be seen or used<br />
even though they were connected;</p>
<p>--Enhanced Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) that in most cases<br />
reduces the time to get a server assigned address at system startup. It also<br />
fixed a bug that could cause a loss of TCP/IP network access if the configured<br />
DHCP lease time exceeded 24 days;</p>
<p>--Provided a utility to reduce the occurrence of Alert messages when using<br />
AppleTalk from a home network connected via an ISDN bridge.</p>
<p>Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Support</p>
<p>Open Transport 1.1.1 includes support for Open Transport/PPP, which is<br />
currently undergoing a public beta seed on the Internet and will be released<br />
later this year. OT/PPP is the first PPP implementation for the Mac OS to take<br />
full advantage of the standards-based Open Transport STREAMS architecture. By<br />
utilizing STREAMS, Open Transport/PPP offers an extensible foundation for<br />
enhancements and is prepared for the transition to a modern OS foundation. Open<br />
Transport/PPP is also the first PPP to offer the performance and stability of<br />
native code on PowerPC-based Mac OS systems.</p>
<p>System Requirements, Pricing, and Availability</p>
<p>Open Transport is required on Mac OS-based computers that include PCI-bus,<br />
and is optional on 68030, 68040, and PowerPC-based systems that do not use<br />
PCI-bus.</p>
<p>The Open Transport 1.1.1 upgrade is available to users with access to the<br />
Internet, America Online or CompuServe at no charge beyond any connect charges.<br />
Open Transport 1.1.1 can be downloaded from the Networking-Communications area<br />
of Apple's Software Updates Archives (see <a href="http://www.info.apple.com/swupdates/" title="http://www.info.apple.com/swupdates/">http://www.info.apple.com/swupdates/</a><br />
for a list of Apple's Software Updates sites). Open Transport 1.1.1 can also be<br />
found on Apple sites on America Online (keyword-applecomputer), CompuServe<br />
(shortcut-GO APLSUP). Starting Oct. 28, 1996, customers in the United States<br />
can order the Open Transport 1.1.1 Update on CD for U.S. $13 by calling<br />
1-800-293-6617, offer number 1407. The fulfillment program is scheduled to run<br />
through Jan. 31, 1997.</p>
<p>Open Transport 1.1.1 is an update for Mac OS-based systems currently<br />
running Open Transport 1.1. Customers of all previous System 7.5 family<br />
releases can update free of charge to 7.5.3 and Open Transport 1.1 using System<br />
7.5, Update 2.0, which is also available in the Apple's Software Updates<br />
Archives. Open Transport 1.1 is also available as a retail package, Apple part<br />
number M4252Z/A, which allows installation on System 7.1, 7.1.1, and 7.1.2.</p>
