GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Q) The NetWare 386 auto boot is not supported and the DOS
partition is no longer accessable after the IBM SCSI driver
is loaded. Is there a resolution to this problem?
A) The NetWare 386 v3.1 driver fixes this problem.
Q) Does performance drop with the addition on NLMs? If so,
how much?
A) Yes, but the degree depends on the disk and memory
requirements. If the machine has low disk availabliity and
low memory then the degradation will become apparent more
quickly.
Q) What is the status of multiple processor support in 386?
Is there a development schedule or is it just done if spare
time is available?
A) There is currently no development schedule but it is being
considered at this time.
Q) Do we have any comparisons between Banyan and Novell
products, specifically NetWare 386 with NetWare Name Service
and Banyan with Global Naming Service, that can be sent to
customers?
A) We have nothing that can be sent to customers. There is
a comparison to Banyan Vines with Street Talk in the Name
Service Sales Guide.
Q) Which IBM Bridges do the Source Routing drivers for Token-
Ring work with?
A) With all three IBM Bridges (both versions), you have to
have new source routing drivers which are on NetWire or in the
NetWare 386 v3.1 product.
Q) Do the latest Token-Ring Source Routing drivers support
limiting which bridges the packets will cross?
A) Yes, because of the single route broadcast feature.
