As anyone ever tried to use IBM's Personal Communications/3270
emulation software in conjunction with Netware's IPX and Netx
programs. Everytime I try and run the 3270 emulator after
having loaded ipx and net3 the entire system locks up. I have
even tried loading the ipx and net3 shell into high memory
using QEMM, but the results are the same --LOCKED UP.
I would appreciate any help and ideas you may have.
Thanks

You don't say whether you are running the 3270 emulation over SDLC, a coax
board or LAN.
IBM's SDLC board uses two hardware interrupts, IRQs 3 & 4
(from memory - maybe 2 & 3). You may have a conflict with interupt lines
between the SDLC board and your LAN card.
The coax board uses shared RAM, your LAN card may too. Check to see if
there is a RAM conflict.
Finally, if you are running over the LAN to an SNA gateway, upgrade to Novell's
latest release of NetBIOS (3.01 or later). Novell NetBIOS is extremely bug
ridden, but the 3.01 release is relatively robust.
I know that the IBM 3270 emulation program can be run on Novell LANs, so the
most likely cause of your problems are either IRQ or memory conflict.
