FYI # 041790sg
Hopefully, you are all aware that a new maintenance release of
NetWare Access is now shipping (version 1.01). All users who sent
in their warranty registration cards for NetWare Access 1.0 are
being updated to NetWare Access 1.01 for free. All registered users
and Sales Offices should receive a copy by the end of this week
via U.S. Mail. For NetWare Access 1.0 users who did not send in
their warranty registration cards and who want or need NetWare
Access 1.01, they will have to call 1-800-UPDATE1. There is a
$50 fee for upgrading from 1.0 to 1.01.
For your information, listed below are problems that have been
corrected with Access 1.0. There are no new features or functions
in 1.01, merely fixes to reported problems. Technical Support for
NetWare Access is being handled by CPD's Technical Support (800-
221-6402).
These problems have been resolved in Access 1.01.
Session hangs - In certain circumstances, a session would hang after
a user performs an OFFLAN. Also, sessions hanging on extremely
active Access Servers has been corrected.
Broadcast - The NetWare "SEND" command would only be
displayed on 6 sessions concurrently. All Access Server session can
now send and receive 25th line broadcast messages.
File handles -Some NetWare Access utilities running on the Access
Server would not release file handles causing sessions to run out of
resources. File handles will now be properly released and
recovered.
3C503 adapter - The buffer segment size for IPX has been
increased. This will allow 15 sessions to run on an Access Server
installed with a 3COM 3C503 adapter.
Reconnect timer - The timer will now close a session when set to
"0". Previously, the console operator was forced to reset the session
manually.
Pause key - On certain 386 machines the pause key would cause the
session to disconnect. Remote users and Access Server console
operators can now use the pause key properly.
Olivetti BIOS - Some AT&T machines incorrectly report the screen
type in the BIOS data. NetWare Access 1.01 corrects this problem.
Encrypted passwords - For NetWare 386 users, the Access Server
now supports encrypted passwords.
Network errors - The SIGNON procedure can now handle losing
the connection to the file server.
OFFLAN from Menus - Running OFFLAN from a NetWare menu
will perform a NetWare "LOGOUT" and disconnect the user from
all attached file servers.
NASGEN - "File not found" messages will be correctly displayed.
Also, port configuration and session start up files (ASTART.BAT)
will be saved when modifying installation parameters.
LOGIN.EXE - Problems with search drives, COMSPEC, EXIT,
END, and "UNABLE TO LOAD PROGRAM" have been fixed.
Keyboard response - Under certain cases, keyboard response would
be degraded with version 1.0. Multiple remote users connecting to
an Access Server will now see a faster keyboard response.
TESTWNIM - Older releases would not report the total errors from
all known WNIM+ adapters. This fix will now allow the
TESTWNIM program to run unattended.
Expanded Memory applications - Are now limited to 400K of
expanded memory. Previously, EMM applications could acquire all
the available memory limiting the number of available Access Server
sessions.
The following problems have been reported after the creation of
version 1.01. These problems are resolved and the software fixes
will be placed on NETWIRE.
ONFILE - File transfers aborting in the middle of large files has
been resolved.
NetWare 3270 hot key - When using the NetWare 3270 LAN
Workstation Program on an Access Server, problems with the hot
key have been resolved.
Carrier loss - Sessions hanging due to carrier loss are now corrected
and will be placed on NetWire.
Remote printing problems - When printing large files to remote
printers data would be lost. A fix is implemented that provides
better print handling and stricter flow control.
Thanks,
