First, I periodically post this request: Does anyone have or is anyone
working on drivers that let Novell and TCP/IP work together.  I understand
there is an archive that contains these drivers, but I haven't seen one
that works with the PS/2 70 & 80's with Ungermann Bass Ethernet cards.

Second, several weeks back I put a 'help' request on the net concerning
MUXPRC() problems on our Netware server.  The summary of the advise was
1) flacky memory chips and 2) bad power supply.  Unfortunately I do not
believe either was the problem.  I have determined (again correct me) that
when one of our clients (30 of them) has a loose connections between the
transciever and the tran. cable to the UB board, 'it throws trash? on
the net?'.  This is the only thing I can come up with.  Every time I saw
MUXPRC and the server stopping, about once every ten days, sure enough,
a client would have a loose connection (these happen when you buy from
the cheapest bidder).  
  Could this short? the net or throw trash packets on the net causing the
server to crash?
