       I have connected a remote workstation to my Novell server using Hayes
compatible Avatex 1200hc external modem on both sides. I can login to the 
server once but I cann't login the second time.

server parameters are as follows :

machine :  286 based TeleVideo
NetWare :  ELS Level II ( dedicated configuration )
LAN     :  LAN A - for network board
           LAN B - IBM Async COM1/COM2
In ARCONFIG : Modem Type - Hayes compatible
              Baud Rate  - 1200
              Auto Connect - no
              ID string - none

workstation parameters are as follows :

machine : 386 based Dell 310, DOS 3.3
In ARCONFIG : Modem Type - Hayes compatible
              Baud Rate  - 1200
              ID string  - none

       When server is booted up, modem goes to Auto Answer mode and everything
comes up normally. I boot up the workstation and run IPX. The connection gets
established and IPX gets loaded. Then I run NET3.COM and login to the server.
After I logout I switch off the workstation. Now when I boot up my workstation
again, I can load IPX ( which also makes connection ) but when I run NET3.COM 
I get the following message :
      A Fileserver could not be found.

       I have tried different versions of NET3.COM. Also tried specifying PS
( preferred server ) in the command line. Configured workstation as well as
server for the special configuration of modem ( other than Hayes ). None of
these make any difference. Tried getting help from Novell too.
       I would appreciate sending any info on this problem to me via E-mail.
Thanks.
