subject: castoff/caston in Clipper

Hello All,
I'm using Clipper 5.2e with Exospace and Clipper Tools, mainly in Novell 
NetWare 3.x environments, and I'm a little puzzled with a few Clipper Tools 
functions...
I'm trying to use CT's 'nnetbrdcst(3)' and 'nnetbrdcst(0)' as a Clipper 
equivalent to Novell's CASTOFF ALL and CASTON ALL, but after a 
'nnetbrdcst(3)' I can still send 1 broadcast to that machine. That message 
will show up the moment that machine issues a 'nnetbrdcst(0)', and I still 
have to enter ^Enter to clear that message. 
What do I have to do after a 'nnetbrdcst(3)' to refuse ALL broadcasts?
And another one: nnetmsgsiz() returns the number of messages that can be 
buffered on the server, but in my test setup (2 workstations and one NW 3.11 
server) this returns 0. What incantation do I need to tell a 3.x server to 
buffer more than 0 messages?
Regards,
Erik
