Now it is written into PCNFSWIN.INI, in the [RemoteLinkMgr] section. 'NegotiatedIpAddress' contains the dynamic IP address, and 'SerialLinkIsUp' == "TRUE" if it is valid, "FALSE" otherwise. 4009795 - Prior to this patch, the Remote Link Manager left the serial link up if the user exited without disconnecting, with a warning dialog "Unable to receive 'Loss of Carrier' message". In this patch, the user is prompted Ok/Cancel whether to disconnect by exiting. 4009800 - Prevent GPF when user edits modem type when the modem file (NFSWMDM.INI) isn't present in the Windows directory.
