Anyway, there is a point to the interruption...  What's your take on using
E_II framing for both IPX and IP on the same Ethernet?  I migrated from 802.3
to E_II when 3.12 came out, and I've never *noticed* any problems.  The only
real advantage to it that I can remember was the reduced overhead of only
having one instance of each NIC driver, and I don't know of any
sadvantages.

Write your reply.

assistant: Not that it ain't possible I suppose, but I've never seen a 16 bit DOS time
setting application able to reset the time in NT. I suspect that has
something to do with the 16 bit command processor they are run from. Were you
using the 16 bit SYSTIME for DOS or the 32 bit SYSTIME for NT?
Also, if you don't have the 32 bit systime you might try:
   NET.EXE TIME \\SERVERNAME /SET /Y
in the startup script. I've not ever tried it to syncronize time with a
novell server, but as doc in back to the future said, "it -should- work". (or
was that "could" <grin>).

Just to let you know, Novell charges $15 for the software package, which is

I tried that just before I got your message. Even though the interrupts were

where you can pick almost any IRQ you like using jumpers) and there are no
conflicts disabling interrupts for the inkjet port has made it a /lot/

will be in use well after any possible release of NT 5.0 next year.  People

not generally feel the same level of confidence in upgrading NT as they do

Thanks. Yet more aspects I hadn't considered.

The top sentence was from my original post and referred to a friend's

BTW, my interest in the release of WIN97 ...er WIN98 has dissolved in
