Are you running LOGIN.COM from your local drive, or from the first Network
drive? (usually F:). You should be able replace your 2.1x version of LOGIN,
on the 2.15 server, with the newer LOGIN, (but don't take my word for it!)

As far as I can remember, you should replace all the PUBLIC utilities with
the 3.x versions at the same time.

(I got the 3.x utilities to run Windows 3.0 on our Netware for VMS network,
which, as far as I'm aware, won't be upgradeable to 3.x any time soon)
