prosoft has continued developing this application and now has a version that seems as stable as v1.3x. apparently the kernel panics and other problems i was having were unique to my environment, although it was never explained what was unique about the netware environment. not sure when or if v2.02b1 will be released to the public since v2.01 seemed to work just fine for all the other beta testers. in any case, i'm happy to say prosoft has been quite attentive since my last review and continues to provide feedback to bug reports and whatnot even for those incidents that on the surface have no connection to their software. if i could retract my previous review and replace it w/ this one, i would. dying environment or not, this client is absolutely essential for my job, and i'm glad the client now makes those connections worry free again. would be nice to see this client gain feature parity w/ the native novell linux and windoze netware clients some day.

beta 2 crashes w/o warning on both my powerbook (1.67 g4) and powermac (dual 2.7 g5) too. no errors, no warnings, didn't see anything peculiar in any of the log files. i think it started w/ the last security update (01/23/2007) from apple because i had been using beta 2 w/o any problems until very recently. went back to desktop manager for the time being...my only complaint about virtuedesktops is the lack of a permanent desktop pager or an expanded menubar pager. i'll likely have the same complaint about spaces when leopard is released. keyboard navigation has never been my mode of operation.

OSS 3D 2.04

even after the 4th point release, this app still doesn't work w/ itunes 7. i give up. system sound is not impacted at all. itunes sound is not impacted at all. oss 3d settings do not hold between sessions, nor do they have any impact on the sound. click 'em on or off, no difference. slide the sliders all around, no difference. the only thing that has improved since v2.00 is the uninstall routine.

just who is beta-testing this application and on what system configuration? i'm running a 1.67ghz g4 powerbook, os x v10.4.8 w/ itunes 7.02 and no other 3rd party add-ons...oss 3d no worky, at all. the only reason i keep trying the oss 3d point releases is volume logic has not released an update to their plug-in yet. volume logic was a much better purchase, and at least they haven't wasted my time w/ updates that don't work.

Started using v1.3x and have recently upgraded to v2.0. Have not had a single problem w/ either version. No crashes, no hiccups, no glitches of any sort. Simply put, if you need access to a Novell Netware network on OS X, the Prosoft Netware Client for OS X kicks too much a__!

A few of comments for the developers if they're reading this. #1, I must say, I miss the menu bar functionality from v1.3x in v2.0, in particular once the connection is active. #2, Great job updating the user guide. #3, upgrade install from v1.3x to v2.0 was smooth as silk except the v1.3x client was not removed from my startup items...a "ghost" image was left behind and I had to mannually remove it.
