- Hi,
-
- I am a bit suprised that your boss didn't supply you with the documentation and
- sales literature that you must have around your office somewhere. Certainly
- there is such literature and you probably have been recieving it for some time
- in those huge sales packets.
-
- At any rate, I'll give you a few bits from my manual.
-
- 1. NW4MAC (v3.x) runs on NetWare v3.11. It consists of basically 3 *.NLMs:
-
- a. APPLETLK.NLM
- b. AFP.NLM
- c. ATPS.NLM
-
- 2. A monitoring NLM is also provided and is called ATCON.NLM. Also client
- utilities for the Macintosh are provided.
-
- 3. The memory requirements are largely dependant on your particular
- requirements. For example, you need just 200k to load APPLETLK.NLM but the
- memory you need for things like ECB (packet recieve buffers) or for increase
- file caching is pretty much dependant on your particular needs.
-
- If you do not have the documentation to which I refer, please contact the
- Pre-Sales Support Team via. our Technical Support Hotline (1-800-NETWARE, USA).
- They will send you the sales information you seek.
-
