I have been asked by a client if the NLM runs on Netware 4.11 with SFT III.
I have looked at this discussion and noticed a number of people were going to test with this but does anyone have any results now.
I know that it should run with SFT III but has anyone actually tried it yet.
Thanks
Sam

We've been using then NLM v1.12 with Netware 4.11 and SFT III for well over six months now and the results are mostly good.
Before the NLM we had GFEs frequently. Now we have almost none.
Our only problem now is periodic (every other week) episodes where the NLM begins consuming network resources and bogging down the network. Our IS folks keep a close watch on the NLM and we notify them immediately when performance begins to flag. Usually when this happens we all exit Revelation and IS restarts the NLM and all is well (takes 5-10 minutes). Strangely (and nicely) , we don't seem to lose data when this happens.
In the beginning the problem sometimes caused the server to crash, but that rarely happens now because we're more watchful.
An uneasiness we might feel about this instability is more than offset by the lack of GFEs.
We haven't upgraded to NLM v1.15 yet because our payroll vendor, Ceridian, has not certified it. At least they haven't told us yet if they have.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, Im glad to hear that it works.
Sorry to have taken so long to respond.
The client that is requesting an SFT III compliant version has other system critical applications and won't accept downing the server, so if you have upgraded NLM versions in the mean time or the problem has gone away i would love to hear about it.
my email address is sam@tristalee.com.au
Thanks again for your help.
