PREFERRED SERVER MAXIOSIZE SHELL CONFIGURATION UPDATE
                        FOR NETX v3.22 SHELLS

Problem addressed:
There are several statements listed below that are to be added to the 
configuration file at the work station and address the problem listed
below.  

These statements added to the shell.cfg or net.cfg fix a problem when using 
the PREFERRED SERVER option where the PREFERRED SERVER is across a bridge.  
The bug causes the shell to use the physical transport size of the first 
server attached to, rather than the transport size of the PREFERRED 
SERVER.  This bug is due to the 1-based vs. 0-based nature of server related 
tables in the shell.  

This bug is seen as a workstation hang when using the login utility. When 
the login is initiated, the preferred server information is updated in the 
shell's table.  The problem occurs because the maximum packet size 
information is not updated to the preferred server packet size, but stays  
at the packet size of the first server seen by the workstation.

This fix may also be required if a system slow-down is noticed due to 
connecting different topologies since the maximum packet size differs for
various topologies. 


Installation:
1- For NETX v3.22 (51201 7-31-91 10:47a) place the following anywhere in the
   net.cfg or shell.cfg file:

   patch = 49404, 90
   patch = 49407, 88


2- For EMSNETX v3.22 (63838 7-31-91 10:49a) place the following anywhere in the
   net.cfg or shell.cfg file:

   patch = 59773, 194
   patch = 59776, 192

3- For XMSNETX v3.22 (60307 7-31-91 10:52a) place the following anywhere in the
   net.cfg or shell.cfg file:

   patch = 56934, 48
   patch = 56937, 46




           PREFERRED SERVER TIMEOUT SHELL CONFIGURATION UPDATE
                           FOR NETX V3.22 SHELLS

Problem addressed:
This update fixes a problem when using the PREFERRED SERVER option where the
timeout value was being incorrectly adjusted.  

This fix changes the transport time.  In the case where a LAN driver might
return a false transport time of zero tics, the v3.22 NETX shells would 
believe this.  These updated options in the shell.cfg add a 10 tic buffer 
zone to the transport time.
