	I have inherited the task of trying to fix an office network using
a LAN called D-LINK and an OS by the name of LANSmart.
	I need the test diskette for this system.  It contains a program
called: TESTNET.EXE, or something like that which is missing.

	I am having a lot of trouble making (Mutli-user) WordPerfect 5.0 run
properly with it.  I'm experiencing your typical intermittent crashes
with wp50, usually while saving or printing a file.  Often it seems that
someone is starting up wp50 at about the same time my PC hangs.

	I would like to try and identify whether the problem(s) is with the
LAN itself, or with wp50 specifically.  I do know that this LAN version of
wp50 is a very early one, and that WordPerfect Corp. has a dubious track
record for bugs in early releases.
	WordPerfect does not support the network (I identify it as 'Other' on
startup), and I have tried talking to the bozos that sold us the LAN,
but they're no help.  Even the manuals themselves only list a company called 
'Datex/Localnet' with no accompanying address much less a phone no.

	Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated.
