By the way Jim I had the horrible experience of allowing an autoinstall of the Novell 32 network client to proceed on Win95 today. The Win95 system wouldn't boot at all afterwards. Amazing isn't it, how such simple things as installing a client on the network fail when you are trying to connect up a Win95 client to a Novell 4.11 server. I suppose this will take an hour to figure out. Hopefully all it is, is that 4.11 can't detect the I/O address and interrupt, but who knows. How user friendly.

Hi Jim Thanks for the link, that'll go into my 'Hacks, Cracks and Attacks' bookmark folder. There are two schools of thought on this type of info - those who say it should be published and those who say it shouldn't. I'm of the school of thought that you should make it available. By the time I've found out about it, it's usually out of date, and most people who have server and care about security have protected themselves against any underhandedness (is that a real word?)
