You can improve performance if you use linux + mars-nwe instead of native
NetWare. We were forced to do this for a customer (burglars stole 7
machines, including 2 servers) and speed and delay problems dissapeared.
The problem that remains is that VLM under DOSemu loses idle connections
after about 10 minutes. We have both a Cobol and a Paradox accounting apps
that work finely; and I suppose that is because they keep talking to the
server in the background.
If you need database locks and your app remains idle for more than say 5
minutes, mars-nwe is NOT the answer. Otherwise it works very well.
