SYMPTOM

     Need for new modem definition files

TROUBLESHOOTING

     Note for IWM.MDF Users:  If you're using IWM.MDF with the Intel Wireless
     modem (Ericsson AT Mobidem),  you must configure the modem speed in the
     appropriate MHS setup screen for 9600 and turn off any modem protocol
     negotiation.  Customers should realize that actual throughput performance
     for the Intel Wireless may be less than 9600 baud.  Should you encounter
     connection difficulties using IWM.MDF and Remote MHS, invoke Remote MHS
     with the command line switch "-Z", e.g. "RMHS -Z".   This Remote MHS 2.0
     switch is an undocumented switch that reduces the B+ protocol sliding
     window size to zero and will virtually eliminate transmission errors.  

  **************************************************************

     The included modem definition files are being provided by Novell as a
     service to our many MHS users.  These files have been developed
     internally but have not been through a formal testing procedure.  As
     such, these files will not receive support like the files that are
     included with MHS products.  Novell recommends that you use these files
     in a test environment initially until you are comfortable with their
     operation.  Thank you for using NetWare MHS.

  **************************************************************


SOLUTION

     Read all included documentation for a complete explanation of the
     operation of these modem definition files.  These files are designed to
     assist those users who need additional support for modems not currently
     supported under either Global MHS 2.0 or Remote MHS 2.0.
