SYMPTOMS:

Will 3270 / 5250 emulators work with Personal NetWare?  Some
emulators with PNW cause a machine hang or print jobs never get sent
to the print queue.

CAUSES:

Some emulators, an example of this is the IBM PC Support Program,
will cause the machine to hang (or appear to hang because the station
is waiting for a reply) or print jobs will never arrive at the print
queue where PNW is running.  This problem is caused by the emulation
software using all cpu cycles and not allowing other applications to
run, namely TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident progams).  These TSRs
include Personal NetWare and others such as SideKick.  If cpu cycles
are not granted to TSRs, the VLMs will appear to hang since no
response is obtained from the SERVER.EXE module.  This problem will
not occur if the station is a client only station since a client only
does not act as a file or print server.  Emulators that have run
successfully with Personal NetWare include but are not limited to DCA
FT Express and NetWare 3270 LAN Workstation products.  This
information is also applicable to NetWare Lite 1.1.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Only happens when the network is loaded.

SOLUTIONS:

Make the station a client only or obtain another emulation software
package that allows other TSRs to run.
