Novell Client/Server Operation

Use DOS batch files with all the commands necessary to load and activate the remote node access software and Novell software for establishing an IPX connection. Refer to the remote node access software installation guide for additional information.

Use local Novell login scripts to facilitate logging in to a Novell fileserver.

If Novell packet burst is used, specify a maximum of 3 for PB BUFFERS in NET.CFG. Using PB BUFFERS > 3 may cause access server buffers to be depleted for PPP at the port causing poor performance. In some cases, it may be better to disable packet burst by defining PB BUFFERS=0 in NET.CFG. You can determine if packets are being dropped by the access server by using the SHOW PORT n PPP COUNTERS command from a access server management port, where n is the port with the Novell connection.
