Okay, let's try this again! [:) I've posted this at least once, but it 
may not have gotten out. Either way, perhaps because of a little trouble 
on this end I haven't seen any replies.
Darned Fido...
Anyway, I've got another minor problem that I believe is Novell related 
and would appreciate some advice. I'll describe the system in a moment, 
but the problem is that I occasionally get screens-full of angle-
brackets ("<<<<<<<<<<<<") on my workstations when 
applications terminate. Sound familiar yet? I only get this on the 
workstations and never on the server. The applications involved 
include... well, everything so far. It's happened for Login, Logout, 
Map, NetUser, NetAdmin, and all my accounting software (CA AccPac). I 
can see activity between the server and the workstation as if they're 
trying to re-transmit data but all that comes across are the angle-
brackets. The only way out seems to be a warmboot. It hasn't caused any 
problems >yet< since it's only happened when programs terminate, but it 
certainly is annoying. And it seems to be getting worse.
Anywho, I thought that it may be a driver problem so I called 3Com and 
downloaded the latest drivers that they had. That hasn't helped, but in 
the course of replacing drivers and experimenting I discovered that this 
problem almost always occurs for user accounts and only rarely for the 
administrator. I surmised that this must be some kind of context error 
so I tried moving around some of the users and the administrator and 
whatnot but this didn't help. I'm thinking that there may be a 
trusteeship problem or something but I'm really just grasping at straws.
I've worked around networks before, but this is my first time with one 
of the quality of Novell.
The system is Novell IntraNetWare v4.11 running under OS/2 Warp 4. The 
workstations are diskless, booting an image of Ms-Dos. The networking 
cards are 3Com 3C905TX 100BaseT on a single 3Com 100Mb/s SuperStack II 
hub. Everything's Pentium. Scsi-UW on the server with an Adaptec 2940UW 
host adapter.
TIA.
