5.0  New features for version 5.1

o Removed support for the SL-5600 Personal Mobile Tool. 
o The Mobility Client can be configured to check that certain programs are 
  running, like antivirus or personal firewall software, before allowing 
  the connection to start. 
o The Mobility Client can be configured to automatically start one or more 
  programs after the initial connection successfully completes. 
o Mobility Client configuration files can be exported and imported which 
  gives an administrator the ability to set or change Mobility Client 
  options, and then distribute the new configuration to the client. The 
  user imports the new configuration and accepts the changes. 
o An aid in problem determination, the Mobility Client trace viewer is a 
  facility the user can use for first failure data capture, especially 
  useful during a connection attempt. 
o The Mobility Client now receives most network tuning parameters from 
  the Connection Manager at connect time which eliminating configuration 
  tasks on the Mobility Client. The client transmits characteristics of 
  the connection to the Connection Manager so the configuration data is 
  appropriate for the type of connection being used. 
o The Mobility Client automatically adjusts network and IP stack maximum 
  transmission unit (MTU) sizes based on the type of IP interface used to 
  communicate to the Connection Manager. 
o The Mobility Client automatically adjusts the network MTU size to avoid 
  network black holes.

5.1  New feature for version 5.1.0.1

o Added support for limiting the Mobility Clients that are permitted to 
  log on to the Connection Manager by device class. This capability is a 
  security feature of the connection profile that is assigned to the 
  mobile network connection (MNC) to which the client logs in. 
  
5.1  New feature for version 5.1.1

o Added support for several user interface configuration parameters.
