I've got a problem running SCO-XENIX-NET and LanWorkPlace from Excelan
on a 386clone computer.  The version of XENIX is 2.3.2 (though for some
reason uname shows 2.3.1) and the version of XENIX-NET is 1.2.0.  The 
vrsion of LWP is 3.7.  My problem is twofold.  FIrst, the NETBIOS server
works fine, but the consumer won't work at all with a DOS server (also
EXCELAN) despite claims in the manual that it does.  When I issue the  
net use <name> //server/object <pwd>, I get a "Connection error encountered"
message.  Going from a PC to the XENIX server works fine.

Second probelm: XENIX NETBIOS data buffer size defaults to 1024 but the manual
update pages describe a procedure to increase them to 4096 (the default
value on the PCs).  Unfortunately, when I increase the size of the buffers
with the aforementioned procedure, the PCs hang up when talking to the 
XENIX server, but only when accessing"large" files.  I would really
appreciate the greater performance of the larger buffers.

Any help on these problems would be greatly appreciated.
