Glad it's working for you now.
FYI, the 'bindery' option in the chooser will just show you a list of
servers with bindery information turned on. (The bindery was an
authentication method used in Netware 3 and earlier. Here at MU,
we're running mostly Netware 4 and 5 servers.) It just so happens
that SASSERVER1 is running with bindery emulation turned on. To see
all the Netware servers and other resources, like printers, click NDS.
To get to SASSERVER1, select MU, MU, SAS, SASSERVER1.
Yes, it's generally agreed that the Mac OS Netware client is, to put
it mildly, poorly written. (The Netware/IP client is even worse about
memory corruption. Frequently, text fields with 'nwip.muohio.edu'
become something like 'nwip.^]1!'.) Prosoft, the company contracted
by Novell to do the development of Netware client 5.12 and later,
claims to be working on a totally rewritten client, but I'll believe
it when I see it.
