Using Third Party Memory Managers for Workstations
Before running the optimization or configuration program of a third
party memory manager, edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to comment out (add a
REM statement at the beginning of) the net start workstation line and
any lines loading protocols. Then edit CONFIG.SYS to comment out
the line that specifies the path to PROTMAN.DOS. It will look
something like this:
After the program is finished configuring the system, remove the REM
statements from these lines in both files.
Avoiding R:BASE/LAN Manager Conflicts
On MS-DOS Enhanced workstations that are using Expanded Memory
Services (EMS) and R:BASE, be sure to set lim=no in the
[workstation] section of your LANMAN.INI file (or use the /lim:no
switch with the net start workstation command). This avoids conflicts
between R:BASE and LAN Manager for expanded memory.
Encryption
Encryption converts usernames and passwords into a coded form for
extra security before transmitting them over the network. When
LAN Manager is installed on MS-DOS workstations, encryption is
always set to on. Encryption uses about 3K of the computer’s memory.
You can eliminate that memory use by editing the LANMAN.INI file
and removing the encrypt entry from the wrkservices line in the
[services] section. However, you should usually leave encryption turned
on, especially when you want to encrypt the usernames and passwords
that are transmitted over your network.
