Date:	 Tue, 29 Jan 2002 17:57:05 -0500

Mitel Networks is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
version 5.1 of the SME Server V5 .  This document provides an overview
of the product release.  Additional information can be found in the
Release Notes located on the CD.

Features:
---------

In addition to the normal updates to hardware drivers, version 5.1
includes a few minor bug fixes and security updates as well as the
following new features:

   -  Windows 2000 and XP domain logons - The SME Server can now
      act as a  domain controller for users on Windows 2000 and XP
      systems. Previously,  domain logon support was limited to Windows
      NT and 95/98/ME.

   -  User quotas - Through a new web panel, you have the ability to set
      a limit on the amount of a disk space a user can use for files
      and e-mail. 

   -  USB printer support - It is now possible to connect the SME Server
      to a printer via the USB port. The printer configuration panel
      has also changed slightly.

   -  Improved Macintosh file sharing support - The server now includes
      better  support for Macintosh file sharing and eliminates some
      previous cases where  Macintosh users were unable to access
      i-bays. 

   -  Experimental ISDN card support - While our software has always
      supported external ISDN adapters, this version now includes
      experimental support for using an internal passive ISDN card.

   -  Rebranding of the user interface - The interface has a new look
      to it that incorporates the Mitel Networks name throughout.

   -  Easier installation of blades - It is now easier to accept
      the licenses and the page refreshes to show the status of the
      installation.

A new User Guide has also be created and is available in the
"Documentation" directory on the CD or from our web site at:
