I'm not sure if this relates to your problem or not, but it may be a piece to the puzzle. We, too, had problems with a PS/2 Model 80 as a server. In our case (and with several other installations here in Springfield), the problem was with disk mirroring or duplexing--although the server did not crash, if you took it down, it would not come back up due to the disks being out of sync. The solution in our case was to use IBM's _caching_ disk controller cards. The non-caching cards that came standard with the Model 80 DO NOT WORK PROPERLY with Novell. Neither IBM nor Novell was able to come up with a definitive reason why this is the case, but we've been running with the caching cards now for about 2 years with *no* downtime. Good luck. -- David Ross Information Systems Voice: (217) 524-5639 Board of Higher Education Bitnet: rross@ecnuxa Springfield, IL 62701 Internet: dross@eagle.sangamon.edu
