Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Michael
The DOC's for Personal NetWare explicitly states that a Personel
NetWare _CLIENT_ can SEE Personal NetWare and Novell 3.x and 4.x
However, the 3.x and 4. clients can't see the Personal Netware.
That should be true for both Printers (Queues) and Volumes.
NT is'nt a Novell Emulator, but chances are that it (NT) might be
able to show (share) the Printers as NetWare printers so that
Personal NetWare Clients might access them.
The other way around (NT sees PNW) is propably impossible
However, with a NT-Server, you might want to consider just why
you _need_ PNW. You can make a stripped down DOS version of the net
in WfW 3.11 (Net start <something>) and continue in DOS, however i do not
know how this is done, and if it can be done on 286 machines (if thats an
issue)
My best guess :-) Let me know if it works !
regards
Kristian Rask, Kolding - Denmark
PS.
The setup program for PNW contains check boxes for 3.x & 4.x access. The
NT-Server has a feature (service) named something like
"Netware Client services")

user: You are replying to All about "Personal Netware & MSDOS?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello,
   This may be a wierd request, but can Personal Netware run under
MSDOS 6.22?
Situation: I have a copy of Novell Dos 7 running on a machine that
I want to use for windows (currently 3.1). The Server is running
a Novell Personal Netware, and handles my BBS software. I like
NWDOS 7, but it freezes up with alot of the current windows software
( thanks Bill Gates for not sharing or caring ). Of course running
windows 95 with NWDOS is out of the question. So without the expense
of paying for a full blown version of Netware, is there a way to
use Personal Netware with MSDOS?
Situation: I don't expect to connect anymore than 3 machines in
the Network anytime soon. The Windows Machine, isn't even connected
to the Network except to perform remote maintenance of the BBS. I
currently have 1 node up on the BBS, with room for 1 more in the
current setup. In the future I am hoping to use Linux for 32 bit
access to the InterNet.
   Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, I think many of you have missed the point entirely.  My original
post was to someone that had an obvious problem with lack of memory.
I simply quoted the REQUIREMENTS specified by the MANUFACTURER!
You are failing to hear the part about "the more memory for cache
buffers, the better your system will perform".
If there's TOO much too little RAM, the server won't come up AT ALL!
I once had a V-8 automobile that got me from place to place
running on 4 cylinders.  Certainly not optimally, but hey, IT WORKED!
However, I doubt it would have even started, had ONE MORE plug been
fouled.
Just because you can "squeeze by", doesn't make it right.
How about it Jonathan, did additional memory cure your problem?
Of course it did.
System performs better than ever too huh?
