running Novell Advanced NetWare 286 in non- dedicated (ND) mode on an

When a DOS command is executed on the ND server and there is moderate
network activity, the system may halt with the following error message:

This is apparently due to some 80286 - specific protected mode operations that’
do not function quite the same way when executed on an 80386. This has
been observed in the following NetWare versions:

Note that the problem does not occur with the latest version, Advanced
NetWare 286 2.15c. Unless this version of NetWare 286 is being used, we
cannot recommend non - dedicated file server operation with any Epson
80386 - based computer.
