	Hello all.

	I'm running PC LAN 1.1 on Token Ring cards and I'd like to let
	two or more secretaries run WP4.1 or 5.0 from the server - essentially
	making the hard drive on the server their own.  Often I'll get an
	error telling me that the network drive isn't ready.

	From what I can figure this is caused by the time lag in accessing 
	the drive over the network.  My question is - what parameters are the
	best on the server at start-up to make it ideal for this situation?
	Are there preferred ways to start the node to facilitate this situation?

	A couple weeks ago I asked how to get WP to print to a network printer
	with out exiting all the way to DOS.  Writing the print job to a file
	called lpt3 did the job for most cases, but I sometimes got errors
	like disk drive full, or disk not ready.

	Any clues?

	Thanks 

	Declan Fleming, U of I
