I suggest waiting for Novell's "patch to make Client32 work in
Windows 98 beta" (do you think Microsoft will have this problem fixed
in the fully released version?).

Its working here on a few machines with Windows 98 beta 3 and
Intranetware Client v2.20, connecting to Netware 3.12, 4.11, NT 3.51, NT
4.0 and Lotus Notes servers without any problems at all. I've not found
any problems with Windows 98, it has been remarkably stable on our test
network. Are you using the ODINSUP drivers also? I couldn't get those to
work.

No need to wait for a patch, Randy; although this is the beta - Microsoft
will probably break things in the final release.

I slapped  Win98 beta on a laptop, (it wasn't an upgrade, tho, but a fresh
install (bad juju trying to "upgrade" Win95) - I wonder if new intall vs
upgrade could be an issue?) and installed the client from files on the
PC's hard drive. I've had absolutely no problems accessing our 4.11 server.

If you truly wish to live on the edge, I recommend the beta NW5 client on
your Win98 box!!
