You should also be aware that passwords DO NOT transfer using UPGRADE.  This
drove us absolutly nuts till our VAR tracked in down in the documentation;-(
You will have to REMOVE all passwords on you newly "upgraded" NW 386 and re
install them through your NEW syscon.  I removed passwords by going down the
user list in syscon, picking "change password" option for each user and enter-
ing an Enter keystroke as the new password.  Hope this helps out....
