GENERAL 
INFORMATION:   With all the cases of upgrading from NetWare 386 v3.0 to
               NetWare 386 v3.1 going on right now, we are finding that the
               minimum and maximum packet receiver buffers "default" is set
               too low for a lot of networks.  In researching the
               documentation to find out how to make the changes permanent,
               this is what we found with NetWare 386 v3.1.  (It was all
               done in AUTOEXEC.NCF in v3.0.)
 
               The "minimum packet receive buffers" limit can only be
               changed in the STARTUP.NCF file.
 
               The "maximum packet receive buffers" limit can only be
               changed in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
 
               This turns out to be (in a round about sort of way) exactly
               as documented. 
 
               (X)    This information was verified in the lab.
