I think there is a 41 (and maybe 42) available now.  Any reason not to
just go all the way?

I haven't checked DANIS506.ADD at all, but from messages I've been
seeing, isn't that just for the VIA chipset or does that work with any
IDE chips?

 WH> The other problem is not so simple.  As far as I can tell, there has

 WH> I know that there are parts of the IP stack that will die from

When you say IP, I assume you mean Internet Protocol.  We are using
NetBeui as the protocol and there are no internet connections, so is
there still a problem?  We actually did a test back in July of last year
by advancing the date to 12/31/99 and letting it rollover.  We only
spent a couple hours with it that way, but everything seemed to work
correctly.

 WH> timestamp problems.  LS 3 is long out of support but you might be able

 WH> I have are at:

Thanks.  I was wondering if there were any updates available for it.
However we really haven't had any problems with it.  I have some
customers with Novell and NT and this one with LAN Server and you can
easily guess which one has the least problems.

  Thanks,
