Here's the problem:

	We are currently using PC/FTP and Novell 3.11 without any problems.
We also have a product (home grown) called McShell.  McShell provides the
capability for swapping tasks on the PC.  That is, you can be running
a DOS program, press a set of control keys and start another task.  Thereby
allowing you to swap back and forth between the tasks with hot keys.  The
background task(s) are not active except in foreground.

	The main problem is that where as McShell runs just fine with
the PC/FTP product, we always lose our file handles for any open files
on the Novell server.

	If anyone has any suggestions as to where we should look (we have
started deengineering the NETX) please feel free to jump in. Our group
would really like to start a converstation with one or more individuals
who might lead to a fix for the problem.
