To my knowledge, nothing special is required ont he file server.  If you want
long file names, add the OS2 name space to the volume(s) involved.

disconnects, the process used it gone.  Therefore, there's no client to do

Could delete them more often?  The SRCH tool on Netwire can delete based on

          Subject: 100Base-T server load
In my DATA COMM Catalog the 3Com 10/100 PCI is $170 & EISA $250. Not bad
prices when you compaire to their 10baseT EtherLink III cards. Where you
really get hit is in the hub prices. There are too many different options
to list pricing but look at paying 2 to 3 times the cost of a 10baseT hub.
Also don't forget the cable. :) IMHO I would not run 100Base-T on anything
less that Cat-5 UTP and prefer an enhanced Cat-5. For 1000' 4 pair 24awg
UTP you are looking at $300-$400 deprnding on brand, Cat-5 or Cat-5+, PVC
or Plenum casing.

Write your reply.

assistant: Make sure the software that SETS the Soundblaster parameters (usually run
in AUTOEXEC.BAT) is run BEFORE the NIC card is accessed via it's drivers.
The Soundblaster software actually sets the parameters when it is run, so
until then, the default settings on the card may actually be interferring
with the NIC.  Check the Soundblaster default (factory) settings and see.
Also, you'd be better off with a 16-bit NIC...

long as you register (not set a date for) the 508/518) exams by 6/30/96.
CNE-3 would be more meaningful. At least you'll have a jump start on
CNE-4. There are more classes to take to go to CNE-3/CNE-4 route from
CNE. I hope you've discussed this thoroughly with your NAEC/testing
