Title: New Drivers for Generic NETBIOS

A few problems have been discovered in the GENBIOS drivers supplied with
Advanced NetWare/86 2.0a.

Problems:

     1.Any station left unattended for an extended length of time
       will be automatically logged off of the network.

     2.A Shell takes more time than normal to attach to the
       server.

     3.Shells tie up the server when they cannot receive data.

Solution:

The problem is corrected by replacing the GENBIOS shell and OS drivers
supplied with Advanced NetWare/86 2.0a with the corrected versions available
on NetWire.

These new drivers should be copied onto working copies of your Advanced
NetWare/86 2.0a GENOS-1a and GENSH-1 diskettes.

The new drivers ACOMDRV.OBJ, BCOMDRV.OBJ, CCOMDRV.OBJ, and DCOMDRV.OBJ must
be copied into the GENBIOS directory of your GENOS-1A diskette and the
SHELLDRV.OBJ must be copied into the GENBIOS directory of your GENSH-1
diskette.  These drivers will only work with the Advanced NetWare 86.
