I just upgraded a FastPath 4 to the new 4.1 PROMs, 4.1 FastPath Manager II,
and 5.03 K-STAR Download file.  We encountered difficulty loading K-STAR
into the upgraded box.  Basically, the FastPath seemed determined to 
auto-configure itself as an Atalk only router and we had to work hard to 
bludgeon it into submission.

After using RESET to clear out the existing program, we found that there was
a very short timeout (less than 20 seconds) to start the process of loading
the new K-STAR download file.  If you didn't work very fast, the FastPath
would jump into auto-config mode and then refuse to accept your download
request.  After the RESET, we had to do FIND ALL GATEWAYS, select the 
FastPath, turn off AUTO CONFIG, select DOWNLOAD A FILE, and open the 
K-STAR Download, all within that 20 second or less timeout period.  
This is simply too short of a timeout, especially since it took us a long
time to figure out that there was in fact a timeout (it may be documentd,
but frankly, I didn't want to pore through the manual looking for such).
Are you listening, Kinetics?  Can you increase this timeout to something
more reasonable?  Say at least 45 seconds?

Another, probably unrelated bug.  FastPath Mgr would crash our Mac Plus
if we started the program while the FastPath was powered off and then 
powered on the FastPath.
