Yes, I am. At least according to the 'ZUI' list published by the Dutch
networking usergroup (www.ngn.nl, in dutch I'm afraid), Novell, the ftp-site 
of
the Groningen university (ftp.rug.nl, very uptodate most of the time) and the
english Apricot BBS ftp-site
(http://www.apricot.co.uk/ftp/bbs/atsbbs/nwupdate.htm) which is also quite
uptodate and a lot faster from a european connection than Novell's site...

Sounds familiar. :-( Anyway, in a week's time we haven't got any problems 
ith
the NW 3.12 server.exe, which convinced the management to officially upgrade
from NW 3.11.
