Using Novell 386 3.1 you'll get the message "Outstanding ncp searches can not
be set in STARTUP.NCF" ??

I have the problem that I get the "exceed outstanding....limit" warning
while running a bbs in a network more and more often. I already raised NCP
up to 700 and had no trouble for more than a year, but now (while unpacking
messages) this warning appears each night.

ANY idea greatly appreatiated!

Bye,
Dieter
