Dear Novell with Mac users,
   I would like to know how other people have interpreted the following
line in the Netware for Macintosh Installation Supplement:

     We strongly recommend that you do not directly link file
     servers of bridges using LocalTalk or EtherTalk media.  If
     file servers or bridges installed with the Netware for 
     Macintosh VAPs advertise the same services over the same
     cabling, the messages will collide and cancel out.  As a 
     result, workstations attached to the cabling will not be able
     to access the Netware for Macintosh services that have
     been lost on the wire.  (p. 2-2)

My main concern is whether to install the VAPs on just one machine, 
or multiple machines.  My present problem is having workstations get
cut off from the fileservers for no reason.  Other times, the zones
disappear.  I can usually (active word) login into my server with the \
VAPs, but the others give more problems.  Is this just coincedence?
My new version VAPs are on the way, but do they belong one on server
or all the servers?
                       Thanks for any insight anyone can offer....
                                  DAVE
