Here's an update for those of you who read this:  Thanks very much for 
the several mails with suggestions.  My local Windows/Novell  guru
says that the Novell protocols (we're running Novell here too, maybe I 
should've mentioned that!) are conflicting with Netbios, since the 
Protocols are loading in DOS.  He confused me; I'll confuse you ;-)  
Apparently, the solution is to install Win95, as suggested by one of the 
friendly mailers.  I'd still like to avoid that though.

If anyone wants more details, ask, I'll pan-fry my guru.

Thanks
Glen
