The ARNS package has been updated to version 1.6 (see the ARNS README file
for the current version number).  Patches 1 - 6 are available via FTP from
munnari.OZ.AU as mac/cap.patches/arns.patch00N.  A pre-patched tar file is
available as mac/arns.tar.Z.  No changes have been made to the Mac clients
which are currently Async AppleTalk2 vers 2.0.1 and IPRemoteAT vers 1.0.1.

Version 1.6 fixes a long-standing AARPResponse bug, adds proper Macintosh
character case handling, changes the debug output format, updates the doc.
and avoids trying to follow routers around on extended Phase 2 networks.

ARNS is 'A Remote Network Server' package for AppleTalk that allows a
remote client to participate in local network services such as printing
and file sharing.  The ARNS server runs on a UNIX host that is connected
to an EtherTalk network.  Connectivity between a client and server may be
provided by a variety of transport systems.  This version of ARNS supports
UDP/IP datagrams and TCP/IP streams.


ARNS client nodes (which may be anywhere on the IP connected Internet) can
be any of the following:

        * A Macintosh with EtherNet card, SL/IP or PPP link, MacTCP 1.1
	and IPRemote AT adev.

        * A Macintosh with Async AppleTalk adev 2.0 connected to a serial
        port on a UNIX machine running the 'async' program.


The ARNS server currently supports Phase 1 and Phase 2 EtherTalk networks
on SUN, DEC ULTRIX, SGI IRIX, Sony NEWS 4.2, HP-UX 8.07 and IBM RS6000 AIX
workstations, and Phase 1 only on Sony NEWS pre-4.2 workstations.  Security
for access to the server is provided with an optional server password and/or
username & password pair.  Access can be restricted to clients that appear
on an IP address filter list.  The server may only be run by a UNIX superuser.
