Hm, I haven't used it for a long while, but doesn't have the PNW
SERVER (as well as the 16-bit ODI/VLM NetWare driver components)
have a facility to unload from memory using the command line
option /U? If so, just unload the components in opposite
order of loading (f.e. in a batchjob named STOPNET.BAT)
and then reload them using the usual STARTNET.BAT.
(Please correct me, if I'm wrong, as I haven't retested this at the
moment.)

Greetings to all,

 Matthias
