There is a known problem with all Novell NetBIOS emulators that prevents
datagrams from working.  I do not really know what the problem is but I
do know there is a problem because we are trying to use some software that
allows the Windows DDE protocol to go out over a network.  Both packages
that we have looked at, DDEX by Netlogic Inc. and DDENet by DaVinci Systems,
have told me that none of Novell's NetBIOS emulators currently work.  This
include version 2.15.

We are running version 2.12 of Novell's Advanced Netware 286.

The people at DaVinci System's are supposed to be sending me a Novell
NetBIOS emulator that is not yet available from Novell that fixes this
problem.  Send me mail in a week or two if you would like a copy of this
NetBIOS emulator when I get it.

In any event, I wanted to let you know that I believe your problem is caused
by Novell's NetBIOS emulator.  Talk to Novell.  By the way, if they give you
a new NetBIOS emulator that fixes the datagram problem I would appreciate
a copy of it 8-).
