                 POWER EXEC WITH FILE TRANSFER AND LAPLINK SOFTWARE

    Time-out problems have been reported during file transfers when running
    Laplink version 3.00 on the AST Power Exec product in the maximum battery
    life power management mode.

    These problems can be resolved by changing the Power Exec's Power Management
    mode to "Max Performance" during file transfers.  The problem can also be
    resolved by upgrading the Laplink software to version 3.00A or to Laplink
    Pro.  Contact Traveling Software for information regarding Laplink software.

    The recommended file transfer method between your Power Exec and other
    computer systems is the supplied utility INTERLINK.EXE and INTERSRV.EXE.
    Other programs utilize communication methods which often disrupt the Power
    Exec's Intelligent Power Management by attempting to directly control
    hardware components.
