On NetWare 3.12 and 4.1x we have found with ARCServe 6 and ADSM that
if an ARCServe session starts while ADSM is busy, ADSM drops out with
a TCPIP connection failure as AS 6 starts the schedule. We have
found it easier to run only one ARCServe server, using it to mirror
the other servers, and then run ADSM to backup the rest.
