CD-ROM NOVELL V2.15
5 messages in this thread
What do you mean by "proven to be unstable"? What's your general system
setup? I'm strongly considering the purchase of Opti-net to share a single
CD on a 10 user Netware 2.2, arcnet lan. Pro's – con's highly appreciated!

Eric,
I am a the primary software engineer for Online's OPTI-NET product line,
which is well suited for your described installation. If you have specific
questions on OPTI-NET I would be happy to answer them.

We had a stack of 8 CD-ROM drives which we had been networking over a large
Netware LAN. As we added more users, the server would freeze up
intermittently and without warning. Since there's no diagnostic
information available, it's just about impossible to figure out what was
causing the problem. OptiNet's technical service wasn't too helpful – they
wanted us to pay for updated software. We've since switched to another
system (hardware and software) and have had better luck.

The problem you are referring to is probably related to exceeding the
number of SPX connections set in the SHELL.CFG (SPX CONNECTIONS = xxx). I
have seen at least one version of the IPX.COM driver which ignored this
parameter unless an override switch was used. To my knowledge, there is no
other such problem in the software.
I humbly apologize for our inability to speedily rectify your problem at
the time. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
