RE: Help with Client Access

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes - a 3rd party [product may be the solution, unless running the
Win3.1 client for a few months until the V3R1M3 Win95 Client is
announced in the Spring is a viable option (and it probably isn't) then
you may need another solution, like Win-APPC.

NOTE - IF you are using Passive (unpowered) twinax hubs you may be able
to solve the problem with Active (powered) hubs - but there's no
guarantee of this.

        Bingo---that must be it.  That's really a pain.  I'm probably
going 
        to have to try a 3rd party product.  Thanks for your time.
