- machine to prepare a protocol.ini for a 386/486 based machine,
- memory usage limitations will be greater.
- ACTION: Reconfigure the resultant PROTOCOL.INI file to lower the
- necessary NetBIOS capacity parameters in order to ensure the NetBIOS
- protocol stack will successfully load. Refer to the LAPS
- product documentation for NetBIOS parameter tuning guidelines.
- ICAUSE: Unable to tune the configuration values that were migrated.
