SUMMARY
=======

Artisoft has confirmed that Windows may hang in 386 enhanced mode with LANtastic
Z version 4.0 if parallel instead of serial cable connection(s) are used.

LANtastic Z version 4.1 will allow using parallel connections in the 386 enhanced
mode of Windows 3.0, 3.0a, and 3.1, but LANtastic Z is slow and unstable if
parallel connections are used in this instance.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When parallel connections are used with LANtastic Z versions 4.0 or 4.1, Windows
3.0 or 3.0a should be run in either real or standard mode and Windows 3.1 should
be run in standard mode.

LANtastic Z is a Windows-compatible peer-to-peer network system that allows two
IBM-compatible computers to be connected through their serial or parallel ports
by serial cable, parallel cable, or modem.

LANtastic Z is manufactured by Artisoft, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we
make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
