  Hello..  I'm having a little problem with a Zenith AT running Novell's
  workstation software..  The computer is setup as follows:

  Zenith 286 machine (probably a model 248, with a very large case and
      backplane (sp?) design where the majority of the motherboard sits on
      one card.  This machine is pretty old, but has performed
	  flawlessly for a number of years without any major compatibility
	  problem)

  512K of memory
  PC Dos 3.3 with minimal config.sys and autoexec.bat (files=20,
      buffers=20, prompt=$p$g, path=, and a packet driver.  That's it)
  Zenith EGA Card with 256K of memory (Which emulates EGA on a Hercules monitor)
  40 Meg MFM drive with controller.
  1 1.2 Meg floppy drive.
  1 Serial port set at COM1: (IRQ = 4, Base address = 0x3f8h)
  1 Parallel port set at LPT1:

  Everex Sppedlink PC Ethernet board (8 bit)
	  IRQ = 2
	  Base address = 0x360h
	  High performance mode
      No boot prom
	  64K of RAM

  Everex's FTP driver, which is based on Clarkson's packet driver.
	  IRQ = 2
	  Packet Int. # = 0x60h
	  Base address = 0x360h

  IPXP (IPX for packet driver)
  NET3 (latest version I believe, from Novell)


  The NET3 program locks up whenever I try to run it (after running the
  packet driver and IPXP).  Any ideas?

  BTW, CUTCP and NCSA Telnet works just fine with this setup.

  Thanks in advance for any help...

We use a similar setup on Z248's, but are using Arcnet and 3Com and Lanmaster
ethernet cards with no problems, for whatever it's worth.
