-
- We have just started using the Netware Access Server. It works
- reasonable well but there is still some problems:
-
- - NAS hangs quite often (several times a week).
-
- - It is quite difficult to get enough free DOS memory for all the
- CD-ROM search software to work. We are now using NAS with VIDRAM.COM
- which let us to load device drivers in the memory addresses used by
- the video memory in graphics modes.
-
- I undestand that there are no better alternative to NAS in the same
- price range.
