After your comments I would expect a more reasoned reply, but you
appear to be somewhat fixed in your own interpretation of the
solution to the original problem also.

Novell has released a number of patch sets for servers (311ptg
for 3.11 servers and 312pta for 3.12).  At least some of these patches
relate either directly to windows 95 or to the os2 support on the
server which supports the long filenames, so it is possible that the
server is at fault too.

I too would like to try out the novell client, but the fact is that it
has been implicated in ccmail post office corruption problems, and
I have had to go through the process of ensuring full Novell
recommended software is running on the server (see
http://support.novell.com/search/patlst.htm) before I can try it out
again with confidence.  Until then we are running the admittedly less
able but stabler microsoft client.

Hope this helps
