SYMPTOM

     Wall Data's AS/400 connectivity products, such as RUMBA for the AS/400,
     RUMBA OFFICE, and RUMBA for NetWare Systems, will support the NS/Router
     no later than September, 1994.

SOLUTION

     Novell recommends that you use the NetWare AS/400 Router that is part of
     the NetWare for SAA product instead of the NS/Router if you meet one of
     the following configurations:

         You are using a DOS workstation for AS/400 connectivity.

         You are using an emulator or application that is not listed below.

         You use the DOS or extended DOS version of IBM's AS/400 PC Support
          workstation, shared folders, file transfer, virtual printer,
          organizer, message, data queues, or submit remote command functions.

     The NS/Router, a Windows-based program, does not support these DOS based
     PC Support client TSRs and programs.

     The NS/Router must be used with one of the following Emulators or
     Applications:
