We are currently running NW4.11 with the NLM1.5 and Arev 3.11 on a
100basetx lan and extremely pleased with the stability and performance. We are also running Win98 TCP/IP peer to peer and it
works great!
I have been getting calls from Novell offering a 2 year upgrade package which includes Netware 5.0. I have asked several questions
about the upgrade but have not received any answers at this time.
My questions are:
1. Does NW5.0 offer any tangible performance increases for AREV lan
users, and or improved TCP/IP performance on a lan over Win98 peer
to peer.
2. Has Revelation Technologies explored the NLM1.5 compatiblity with
Netware 5.0.

I believe there are incompatibilities with Netware 5.0 and the NLM which Revelation software are fixing pronto.

Jim and Steve,
The new version of the NLM has already been certified by Novell for Novell 5.0. This new version of the NLM will jump up a bit version number-wise to 5.0 to avoid confusion with the 1.x line of NLMs (which are not Novell 5.x certified).
As far as performance issues on Novell 5.0 using this NLM, we're still doing some speed tests ourselves to see how well it performs.
