SUMMARY

According to FTP Software Inc.'s technical support, an earlier version of FTP Software's virtual device driver (VxD), VPCTCP.386, may cause problems with some network communication packages running under Microsoft Windows version 3.1.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using Pericom's Team Talk 340 version 1.8d, you may receive application errors and lost or dropped connections if an earlier version of this file is being used. The version of VPCTCP.386 dated 5/1/92 that corrects this problem is available from FTP Software.
