[comp.misc] problems 123 3.0 on Starlan

ray@ajop.UUCP (Raphael Poliakoff) (10/18/90)

Having problems running the netwok version 3.0 on a starlan network.
the server is a 3B2 with 32meg RAM
the worksations are AT&T 6286/WGS EL with:
	PC-XT/286 rom chips 1/15/88
	4 meg RAM
	VGA color
 
We have tried setting up the RAM in every combination and have even tried 
disabling shadow ram.
 
The workstations hang up hard. To make matters worse they don't hang at the 
same point consistently. Sometimes we can even get up and running 123 then 
exit and be unable to get back in. We always get the copywrite screen but 
sometimes hang right there; usually we hang when the screen blanks out.
 
Another weird thing is that if we SET 123OVL=C:\PERSONAL then 123 will down-
load the actual 123DOS.EXE file , all 875k, to the c:\personal directory !
 
Any help or expalantion of what is happening greatly appreciated.
please respond if possible to Compuserve Id# 72431,2153

thanx
