GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Q) 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 of NLMs? If
so, how much?
A) Yes, but the degree depends on the disk and memory
requirements. If the machine has low disk availability
and low memory, then the degradation will become apparent
more quickly.
Q) What is the status of multiple processor support in
NetWare 386? Is there a development schedule or 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) They work 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.
