SR9.5.1 was, according to some at Apollo, the answer to all
of our ills; the latest and greatest.  Well, it was late.
I remember being told at a meeting held over a year ago in
Chelmsford that SR9.5 would soon be here.  Is it great?
I don't think so.  Not only haven't they fixed any of the
TCP/IP routing problems which I reported to them about a
year ago, I do not see any of the performance improvements
which were supposed to be associated with the recompilation
of the operating system with the new compiler(s).

I'm interested in hearing a discussion among other users
as to their level of satisfaction with SR9.5.1.  I'm now told
that all of my TCP/IP problems will be fixed in SR9.6 (which
will include TCP/IP 3.1), but I can't seem to find out when
that will be released (next year?).  It may be sooner, though,
since one SR9.5.1 UCR came back with the comment that the
problem in question would be fixed in SR10!

Am I the olny one who is experiencing severe problems using
Apollo TCP/IP is a very large networking environment?
