I have set up DJGPP/GCC on our Novell Netware 3.11 server.  I
have tested it using my own Arcnet based station (still waiting for
my ethernet connection). I load LSL, SMCARCWS, IPXODI, NETX amd
IPXPKT (for TCP/IP) all high using QEMM386 6.0 under MS DOS 5.0

GCC runs fine using GO32 1.09 except as a previous posting of mine re
the Pagetest program stated that Pagetest would not allocate more
than about 20Mb of virtual memory when paging to the server (*TMP*
variables set to the network drive): This was a test to see how slow
this would be and how much virtual memory could be allocated.
Pagetest 30000 crashed and caused the screen to
flash lots of colourful characters.  Below 20Mb the setup works fine.
I'd still appreciate any other responses to this problem.

Hope this helps,
Tony L.

P.S. DJ, Rami etc. what configuration do you use for DJGPP on _Your_
PC?  This might help those of us who would like to optimise our
setup (Config.sys and autoexec.bat)
