- FYI # 041790sg
-
- Hopefully, you are all aware that a new maintenance release of
- NetWare Access is now shipping (version 1.01). All users who sent
- in their warranty registration cards for NetWare Access 1.0 are
- being updated to NetWare Access 1.01 for free. All registered users
- and Sales Offices should receive a copy by the end of this week
- via U.S. Mail. For NetWare Access 1.0 users who did not send in
- their warranty registration cards and who want or need NetWare
- Access 1.01, they will have to call 1-800-UPDATE1. There is a
- $50 fee for upgrading from 1.0 to 1.01.
-
- For your information, listed below are problems that have been
- corrected with Access 1.0. There are no new features or functions
- in 1.01, merely fixes to reported problems. Technical Support for
- NetWare Access is being handled by CPD's Technical Support (800-
- 221-6402).
-
- These problems have been resolved in Access 1.01.
-
- Session hangs - In certain circumstances, a session would hang after
- a user performs an OFFLAN. Also, sessions hanging on extremely
- active Access Servers has been corrected.
-
- Broadcast - The NetWare "SEND" command would only be
- displayed on 6 sessions concurrently. All Access Server session can
- now send and receive 25th line broadcast messages.
-
- File handles -Some NetWare Access utilities running on the Access
- Server would not release file handles causing sessions to run out of
- resources. File handles will now be properly released and
- recovered.
-
- 3C503 adapter - The buffer segment size for IPX has been
- increased. This will allow 15 sessions to run on an Access Server
- installed with a 3COM 3C503 adapter.
-
- Reconnect timer - The timer will now close a session when set to
- "0". Previously, the console operator was forced to reset the session
- manually.
-
- Pause key - On certain 386 machines the pause key would cause the
- session to disconnect. Remote users and Access Server console
- operators can now use the pause key properly.
-
- Olivetti BIOS - Some AT&T machines incorrectly report the screen
- type in the BIOS data. NetWare Access 1.01 corrects this problem.
-
- Encrypted passwords - For NetWare 386 users, the Access Server
- now supports encrypted passwords.
-
- Network errors - The SIGNON procedure can now handle losing
- the connection to the file server.
-
- OFFLAN from Menus - Running OFFLAN from a NetWare menu
- will perform a NetWare "LOGOUT" and disconnect the user from
- all attached file servers.
-
- NASGEN - "File not found" messages will be correctly displayed.
- Also, port configuration and session start up files (ASTART.BAT)
- will be saved when modifying installation parameters.
-
- LOGIN.EXE - Problems with search drives, COMSPEC, EXIT,
- END, and "UNABLE TO LOAD PROGRAM" have been fixed.
-
- Keyboard response - Under certain cases, keyboard response would
- be degraded with version 1.0. Multiple remote users connecting to
- an Access Server will now see a faster keyboard response.
-
- TESTWNIM - Older releases would not report the total errors from
- all known WNIM+ adapters. This fix will now allow the
- TESTWNIM program to run unattended.
-
- Expanded Memory applications - Are now limited to 400K of
- expanded memory. Previously, EMM applications could acquire all
- the available memory limiting the number of available Access Server
- sessions.
-
-
- The following problems have been reported after the creation of
- version 1.01. These problems are resolved and the software fixes
- will be placed on NETWIRE.
-
- ONFILE - File transfers aborting in the middle of large files has
- been resolved.
-
- NetWare 3270 hot key - When using the NetWare 3270 LAN
- Workstation Program on an Access Server, problems with the hot
- key have been resolved.
-
- Carrier loss - Sessions hanging due to carrier loss are now corrected
- and will be placed on NetWire.
-
- Remote printing problems - When printing large files to remote
- printers data would be lost. A fix is implemented that provides
- better print handling and stricter flow control.
