| support for KISS TNC's or direct access to a net node in KISS mode | |
| AUTOBIN protocol for automatic binary file transfers, compatible to SP, Turbo Packet etc. (parameter AUTOBIN ON). | |
| optimization in some hardware drivers (especially SCC cards), slower computers will now run better. | |

| a "smaller" L2 that requires less memory than in V1.50. | |
| L2 now responds to "//q" commands from remote stations even when the terminal is not running. | |

| all EXE files will now generate a help text when called with "/?" as a command line option. | |
| an arbitrary interrupt vector can be used for the communication between L2.EXE and SCC.EXE. The command line option is /i<vector> where <vector> is a hex number between 40 and FF. |
