        We have 15 Novell networks on campus, and initially we set most
 of them up in Non-dedicated mode for economic reasons, but to our chagrin
 we found that there were too many problems associated in running them
 this way. Printer support for programs running from the server shell was
 unreliable, and the occasional program would not run from the server but
 would from any of the true workstation. Not to mention the Secretary who
 rebooted the server when the shell jammed on her. Speaking for an office
 that has to centrally support mulitple networks with varying levels of
 end user expertise, dont look for network trouble and stay away from the
 non-dedicated mode if at all possible.

     P.S. what is the name of that undocumented Novell Util that will
 change the Net Addr of a server without re-genning?  Thanks....
