I can't help you with your problem, but I would like to know what you think of
Netware 286.  Right now, I have been running AT with Netware 86.  Are you 
using any above boards for more memory.  Specifically, what I want to know is,
with Netware 286 and above boards, can you increase the local DOS size on the
file server by moving all cacheing and etc above the 640 boundary.
Thank you.
