I have recently upgraded my server (PS/2 Model 80) from 3.0 to 3.1.  Very
easy!  I am quite pleased with the way that works.  However, when I created
new IPX and NET4 (and EMSNET4 and XMSNET4) I started having problems.  First
I thought I had WordPerfect Office problems because that starting freezing
up on me and corrupting files.  However, it soon spread.  Basically I find
that the new IPX is not stable.  When I use my old IPX and EMSNET4 it seems
to work fine.  My question is: 1) Is this caused by different versions of
IPX on the network? or 2) Am I doing something wrong? and 3) Can I just run
the old IPX and the new (EMS/XMS)NET4?

Another problem.  I am trying to set up a remote printer.  What I did was
to create two Queue's and assign printer 0 to service one and printer 1 (the
remote printer) to service the other.  What happens is that the printer
server sends jobs to either printer almost at random.  The console screen
shows Queue 1 printing on printer 1 even though printer 1 is not set to service
that Queue according to PConsole.  So, I thought I would outsmart Netware and
created a new print server.  I set up an old XT and ran Pserver on it.  This
seemed to solve the random printing problem, but now I only got about 1
character per minute!  Is pserver too demanding to run on an XT?  I would 
hate to have to use up a perfectly good 286 just to service a printer.

Any ideas?  Novell?  Since this is "novell's group" how about some input?
