- SHELL VERSION :

- GENERAL INFORMATION : When Compaq introduced their new design for the
- Deskpro, they added the "power-on password" feature and the "network server
- mode" feature. This applies to the Deskpro 386s, 386 20e, 386/20, 386 25e,
- 386/25, 386/33, the Systempro and the Deskpro 486/25. The power-on password
- work identical to IBM's implementation on the PS/2 systems. The network server
- mode allows the machine to boot from the hard disk but will not accept
- keyboard input until the password is entered.
-
- If this feature is to be used with NetWare 386, server.exe must NOT be
- called from an autoexec.bat file on drive "C:." If it is, the it will not
- be possible to enter in the password or any other keyboard input. This is
- because NetWare 386 controls the keyboard at that point.
-
- If it is desired to disable the keyboard, either use the key switch on the
- machine or use the "console lock" feature in "monitor.nlm."
