The Novell Netware TCP option allows TCP/IP interconnection via a
Micom Interlan NP 600 card.  But buried in the documentation is the
following statement:

"As mentioned earlier, the FTP services for suers on the TCP network
are singlethreaded, meaning only one TCP user can be handled at a time.
Users attempting to access the server while another user is logged in
will receive standard TCP messages like Connection Unavailable."

Does this mean that this expensive software/hardware is only going to
work for one user at a time?  Are they referring to Telnet and FTP
together or seperately?  Am I reading old documentation - which is no
longer valid?

Thanks, Hank
