Don't know about this.  BUT, I did just install 5.1 on a 3Com file server
running 3Com 3+ share version 1.1.  WP claims that this network is
supported.  

First time I tried to print the test document, I got:  
	Disk Error 58 reading drive F:
Upon exiting WP, I discovered that my server's FAT was trashed; over
5000 lost clusters.  Had to reformat/reload the server (which if you've 
ever done it, is no picnic; takes hours).  I then reinstalled WP
and it did the same thing.

WP has been next to useless.  They claim it is a DOS error and not
their fault.  Of course, no other software has ever done this.  So,
here we sit with a commercial product that makes most VIRUSES look
tame.  I *used* to be very pleased with WP support, but am losing 
my good will towards them fast.
