     Windows 95 Agent
     ----------------
     Using the Backup Exec Windows 95 agent in a token-ring/ethernet 
     network environment:

          Backup Exec for NetWare Version 7.01 resolves the problem 
          of losing connections when performing backups of a Windows 
          95 workstation across a token-ring/ethernet bridge.

          If both the Windows 95 agent and the backup server are on
          the same type of network (both on token-ring or both on
          ethernet) then no additional steps are required for the
          Windows 95 agent to function properly.  
     
          However, if the backup server is on an ethernet network 
          which uses a network bridge to backup workstations on the
          token-ring network, then you must modify the value of the 
          "GRFS_max_buffer_size" option within the backup server's 
          options file (BESRVR.CFG).  You should set the value
          of this option to "240". 
     
               Example: GRFS_max_buffer_size = 240
     
          No steps are required if the backup server is on the 
          token-ring network and the Windows 95 agent is on the
          ethernet network.
