G.13.2 Updating LAN Firmware
You can also update the firmware for the LAN Subsystem inside the SM modules and the LAN Subsystem
loader. The firmware is contained in a.bfl file.
Updating the LAN firmware works best from a system that is not running Windows 95 or 98. When using
Windows 95 or 98, you received a timeout message even though the ftp process is continuing. If you
upgrade the LAN firmware from other operating systems, such as Windows NT or Windows 2000, you do
not receive this message.
