We're using QEMM with Novell stuff and LAN WorkPlace without much
trouble.....we don't quite load as much as you describe. Most
notible problem is that LSL.COM, LANSUP.COM (ODI drivers)
and TCPIP.EXE don't like to be loaded high (at least, we have
more problems...). All the Netware drivers load high just fine.
We also don't have a big mixture of Brands/Models. Just DELL
and AUSTIN brands. The many variations of DELL equipment is
the only real pain.
Sorry my answer is not too useful, but I'd like to see your
summary....maybe it can shed some some light on our tcpip.exe
load-high problem.
