	8.22
	8.20
26 Jul 2001	8.10	V.92/V.90 driver for 1648C-TV5 (Mars-3.2)
	8.02	V.92 first driver (Zoom 3025, MarsII).
	6.04
08 May 2001	6.00	APL43 Data/Fax boards - fax send problem fixed V.90 performance improvements for MarsII & Mars3 on slow PCs V.34 - poor connects with 3Com client V.34 modems fixed. WinXP - multiple modem & other bugs fixed. Win2k - ltremove.exe Digital Signature warning bug fixed; wake-on-ring crash with BVRP's PhoneTools fixed; BSODs on certain Laptops fixed. WinMe/2k - Added support for “AT&D1”, in the WDM driver. WinMe - intermittant init problem on 1.4 Ghz PC fixed; Wake on Ring bug (no wake if a phone number in the blacklist) fixed. Perseus 1035A DAA - false ring detects fixed; Australia/Netherlands off-hook transient problems fixed; dial wrong number or detect false busy fixed; repeated dialing (due to wrong digit dialled) fixed. Pulse Dial Problems - wrong digits dialled under stress conditions fixed. General - ATI5 command changed to display: PCI Vendor ID, Device ID, Sub Vendor ID, Sub Device ID; audible pops with Mars 3.2 chips fixed; K56Flex removed.
19 Feb 2001	5.97	WinXP (Whistler) (beta) - first release Win2K - power management change allows notebook displays to turn off WinMe - Suspend/resume problem with certain LAN combo cards fixed + improvement to install process WinNT4/SP3 - modem disappearing problem fixed all OS - memory leak involving restrictive dialing and France; V.90 performance improvements on telephone lines with load coils; performance calling 3Com servers on loaded loops improved; reliability improved in some systems with shared IRQ / PCI bus.
	5.92	56k=V.Unreliable claims some users have dramatically increased their connect speed with this driver. WinMe - suspend/resume problem on Desktop machines fixed; workaround for Country selection bug. WinNT - wake-on-ring bug fixed. Win95 - setup bug fixed (selected winMe WDM files). all OS - 41333bps added as a fallback rate; increased upstream signal level gives more reliable connections to some servers for some worldwide modems; improved performance in countries that require complex impedance; improved V.90 training on loaded loops; now does V.90 on some lines that previously fell back to V.34.
	5.87	Bug Warning! Do not use with win95 (setup problem as may attempt to install WDM drivers, also preventing reversion to older drivers; copying "ltmodem.vxd" into Windows\System folder may work). Bug fix: Win95/AOL5/Netware - obscure interaction. Win2000 - more reliable installation. DOS - improved compatibility all OS - +GCI command to change modem country added; DSVD and VoiceView removed; V34 fallback stability improved; slightly less aggressive initial V.90 connect rate; improved V.90 with some Cisco servers; power management improvements.

30 Mar 2000	5.75	Bug Warning! No V.90 connection with ISP's using CISCO Mica servers running beta 2.7..1.x firmware. Bug fix: NT4 port close function. Bug fix: Win2000 problem with multiple suspend/resume.
	5.70	Caller ID now works in France.
13 Dec 1999	5.66	Win2000 - first driver NT - some BSOD installation problems fixed; setup program changed - much smaller & only one reboot required with NT Fix for some Cisco Headends [Freeserve?]
	5.65a	first Linux driver
13 Dec 1999	5.65	Fix for some Robbed-Bit Signalling (RBS) problems, including some non-standard RBS lines. 56k=V.Unreliable claims this Lucent solution to be unique amongst modem manufacturers.
18 Aug 1999	5.54	Bug fix: NT4.0 - Blue Screen during V.90 fallback to V.34, modem lost on some multi-processor systems & on alternate warm boot Bug fix: DOS - scenario of multiple DOS applications trying to access the modem all OS - fixed wake-on-ring problem; attempts to maintain V.90 on some noisy lines.
15 Jul 1999	5.53	Fix for errors on resume after suspension; more consistent/occasionally higher V.90 auto rate; improved V.34 connections on analogue key systems with strong local echo.
27 May 1999	5.49	Bug Fix: NT4.0 - setup/remove & multi-processor Bug fix: 'Invalid Country' warning NT4.0 - DTE queue handling improved all OS - Handshake changed; more reliable with some servers & better performance on some lines; fix reliability for V34 fallback with Rockwell servers; fix V42bis compression compatibility problem during d/l from certain servers; resume from suspend bug improved; wake on ring reliability improved; V.250 commands added; setup.ini actions extended.
7 Apr 1999	5.44	Bug fix: IAESS switch busy detection Driver name change to Lucent Win Modem; V34 retrain more reliable; Mars chipset system reliability improvements; digital line guard & power management tweaks.

General Notes		Controllerless Linux- & Windows-only V.90/K56Flex^TM Chipset
general info:		The chipsets contain a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip, but Controller functions are enacted within software. Lucent provides a generic driver for these chipsets (not guaranteed to support all modem functions) & 56k=V.Unreliable keeps a stockpile of them. ISA bus is Luna (no speakerphone support) or Apollo chipset PCI bus is Mars, MarsII or Mars3 chipset Versions 8.02 is the first V.92 driver Versions 5.97 is the first winXP (Whistler) (beta) driver Versions 5.79 is the default winMe driver Versions 5.66 is the first win2000 driver Versions 5.65a is the first Linux driver Versions 5.0 & above are dual V.90/K56Flex^TM Versions below 5.0 are K56Flex^TM only

known conflicts:		10 Jul 02 5.97 Thanks to Total Recycling for reporting that, by experiment, this driver does not work with the current Mars3 (1648C) chipset. By contrast, the 8.22 driver is backwards compatible to the MarsII (1646T) chipset. *5.87* Win95 setup problems which also prevent reinstallation of previous drivers. 30 Mar 00 5.75 No V.90 connection with ISP's using CISCO Mica servers running beta 2.7..1.x firmware. 25 Jul 99 The *5.32* drivers from this site gave a faster, stable service with Freeserve whereas the *5.53* drivers gave very regular line drops & poor connection speeds. 01 Nov 98 A user obtained a reliable V.90 connection with Freeserve with "ats109=2" [no quotes] entered in Extra Settings.

A controllerless Linux- & Windows-only Dual-Mode chipset that supports both V.90 and K56Flex^TM. The original Windows modem driver-name was "LT Win Modem" & by v5.44 had become "Lucent Win Modem" - the modem in Dial-Up Networking Properties (General page) will need changing if an upgrade causes a name change. Drivers seem to be interchangeable between suppliers [use at own risk]. 02 Feb 01 Thanks to Kit Peters for reporting new drivers.
