the single biggest impact parameter in the novell dsm.opt file is the
     "processorutilization" parameter... the number of 100ths of seconds
     that adsm maintains control of the processor before giving it up to
     other tasks.  values are zero (0) to infinity ... too little and adsm
     just sits & swaps, to much and tcpip can't get in to send your packets
     try the neighborhood of 100 to start, then try down first.

     Oh and if you start seeing protocol violation on the server from the
     novell client... check adsm's mtu size against novell's mtu size.
     Setting adsm's greater than novell's seems to have always triggered a
     protocol violation around here.

     later,
            Dwight

Hi there,

I'm going to be doing a Novell install tomorrow.  I was wondering if anyone
would be willing to share their options file or perhaps make some
suggestions. I am not a Novell person and our Novell guy is away, any help
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!
Julie
