FEATURES

PortMaster 3 Integrated Access Server support

	PMconsole release 3.5 supports configuration of the new 
	PortMaster(TM) 3 Integrated Access Server.  Earlier versions of
	PMconsole cannot be used with the PortMaster 3.

ComOS 3.5 support

	When ComOS 3.5 on the PortMaster 2, IRX and Office Router is released,
	PMconsole 3.5 can be used to configure those.

New utility to dump filters

	pmdumpfilter displays the contents of all filters that reside on the
	PortMaster.  To use pmdumpfilter, specify the following:

		pmdumpfilter PortMasterName Password

	You can redirect the output into a file as follows:

		pmdumpfilter PortMasterName Password >File

BOOTP supported in pminstall

	The "PortMaster Internet Address Setup" option in pminstall
	now uses BOOTP on all operating systems, including Win95 and WinNT.

Console Port

	PMconsole now displays the console port (C0) for PM-2i 

PMconsole supports new features 

	See ComOS release notes for more information on these features,
	which can now be configured with PMconsole release 3.5.  Some
	of these features may not be available in some versions of
	ComOS.  PMconsole release 3.5 can also be used to configure
	previous releases of ComOS.

	PAP, CHAP, and Serial Admin can now be enabled or disabled
	in the global table.
	 
	5ESS-PTP and various new ISDN switch types are supported.

	On dial-in ports, maximum idle time can now be set in minutes
	or seconds.

	On synchronous ports, Annex-D LMI may now be set for Frame Relay.

	In the User Table, maximum ports, session timeouts, and idle
	timeouts can be set.  Idle timeouts can be specified in minutes
	or seconds.

	For ISDN calls, the phone number, username, and password can be
	specified for a dial out location, to make it easier for the
	PortMaster to authenticate itself using PAP or CHAP when
	dialing out to other sites.  CHAP can be enabled or disabled in
	the Location Table.

	Multilink and Voice in the Location Table are now supported.

	ComOS 3.5 supports variable length subnet masks (VLSM), so PMconsole 3.5
	allows you to specify VLSM-style routes.  For example, to specify that
	only hosts 192.168.4.1 through 192.168.4.30 should be routed through
	192.168.4.1, you can now use the route:

	192.168.4.0/27 192.168.4.1 1

RESTRICTIONS

	Filters from ComOS 3.5 on the PortMaster 3 cannot be edited
	with PMconsole.  This will be fixed in ComOS 3.5.1 on the
	PortMaster 3 and 3.5 on all other platforms.  If you attempt to
	edit filters on a PortMaster 3 running ComOS 3.5, PMconsole
	will display a warning message.

	PMconsole 3.5 cannot delete routes from the static routing table.
