Re: there are applications running on Netware 3.?? software with coax cables connecting 16 ws to 3Com hubs in a LAN running on 286 servers!!!

I've seen Novell servers of that vintage (Netware 286 / Netware 386) go a year and a half between reboots. It's just another reminder that I/O, not processor power, is what matters for file servers.

But the drives and power supplies of those machines are well beyond their MTBF expected life. I hope anyone running on such a system has a very flexible backup - because finding someting to restore to after a failure in such a system may not be easy.

Regards,

Dan
