[comp.dcom.lans] PCSA LAN and WP-Office NOTIFY crashes

veneman@cft.philips.nl (jaap veneman corp com) (03/14/91)

We have serious problems with PCSA-LAN and Wordperfect
Office Notify utility. This NOTIFY program is loaded in the
PC and every 30 seconds (default) checks in background on
the fileserver if new messages arrived in the users mailbox
PC's running this NOTIFY program regularly locks-up.
And many times also DOS error messages report that the
Fileserver drive is not available. Some programs running in 
foreground cannot handle this messages.

After error conditions (when the PC did not lock-up) the
PCSA USE command shows several file and/
or print services in ERROR condition.

Entering a Dos DIR command sometimes make the ERROR status 
to go away, but not always.

Running the WPO NOTIFY and the ALL-IN-ONE mail NOTIFY at
the same time in the PC certainly crashes the PC.

WPO Notify on other LAN don't give this problems. We experience
this problems on all different type of PC's.

Is there any one who has experience with WP OFFICE in combination 
with PCSA and has suggestions for us to solve this problem.
