  Hello..  I'm having a little problem with a Zenith AT running Novell's
  workstation software..  The computer is setup as follows:

  Zenith 286 machine (probably a model 248, with a very large case and
      backplane (sp?) design where the majority of the motherboard sits on
      one card.  This machine is pretty old, but has performed
	  flawlessly for a number of years without any major compatibility
	  problem)

  512K of memory
  PC Dos 3.3 with minimal config.sys and autoexec.bat (files=20,
      buffers=20, prompt=$p$g, path=, and a packet driver.  That's it)
  Zenith EGA Card with 256K of memory (Which emulates EGA on a Hercules monitor)
  40 Meg MFM drive with controller.
  1 1.2 Meg floppy drive.
  1 Serial port set at COM1: (IRQ = 4, Base address = 0x3f8h)
  1 Parallel port set at LPT1:

  Everex Sppedlink PC Ethernet board (8 bit)
	  IRQ = 2
	  Base address = 0x360h
	  High performance mode
      No boot prom
	  64K of RAM

  Everex's FTP driver, which is based on Clarkson's packet driver.
	  IRQ = 2
	  Packet Int. # = 0x60h
	  Base address = 0x360h

  IPXP (IPX for packet driver)
  NET3 (latest version I believe, from Novell)


  The NET3 program locks up whenever I try to run it (after running the
  packet driver and IPXP).  Any ideas?

  BTW, CUTCP and NCSA Telnet works just fine with this setup.

  Thanks in advance for any help...
