Hello All,
Must say, off the bat, I recently started dealing with '95, hence I
recently started reading the three win groups.  Lotsa help.  Novell
group, thank you too. ;)

I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgable, by a long-shot, person when
it comes to this stuff, but here goes:

Novell 3.11.  Workstations are all p133, 16 megs.  Everything's hunky
dory, but we also run NASI to allow access to our server's modem pool.
All of this is really old, NASI v.1 (9/93), NASIDIAG v.3.1 (if it
matters).  The way it works now is this:  Boot a workstation, up pops
win95, back to DOS for network login, then NASI login, then win95
login (yes, i read how to fix that last one).  Anyhow, that's an awful
lot of login/passwords to type.  I know you can 'automate' the NASI
login, but i'm somewhat understandably leery of doing that.

In any event, it's my understanding NASI must load after loading
the network yet prior to bringing up windows.  Seems to be true, since
I've tried monkeying with it to no avail.  Am I barking up the wrong tree
here?

What I'd really like is for the workstation to boot directly to windows,
and at that point have the login-to-network box pop up and, provided
the user enters a valid netware login etc., have it "login" to 
the net, windows, *and* NASI all at once.  Or even better yet, if there's
something *in* '95 that would do this <shrug> already...and just scrap
NASI <another shrug>.  

Oh, and we're using Crosstalk (eek) v2.0...

Anyhow, if i'm totally off-base and outright wrong here, please inform
me of that fact -- I don't mind looking stupid if I get the job done.
Besides, this is back burner right now.

Otherwise, thanks people.

Email or post, don' matter (don't you hate those ppl that ask for help
and then say they don't read the groups?).
