KNOWN PROBLEMS IN REV 1.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following are brief descriptions of known problems 
in this release.

1. Click on Magic Packets and highlight Power on One Host at the bottom
   of the window the statement reads, "Send Magic Packet to One Host,
   unicast or broadcast." The word unicast should not be in this phrase.

2. In the Menu section under Power on One Host the following phrase appears:
   "The destination internet address can be any of the following forms.

Limited Broadcast: 255.255.255.255
Direct Broadcast:  123.213.132.255
Unicast:           121.47.135.23
Unicast:           amachine.aplace.com  

This statement is incorrect. The destination internet address can only be the
Limited Broadcast Address which is 255.255.255.255.
