SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 may hang upon startup and display the
following:

  Gateway initializing...

CAUSE
=====

The TP4 stack provided by the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 is not compatible
with the Windows for Workgroups MS-DOS client drivers.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use the Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.2c drivers with TP4. These drivers are
supplied with Windows NT version 3.5 (CD).

MORE INFORMATION
================

The MS-DOS client drivers use IFSHLP.SYS to load network software. This assumes
that the drivers will be loaded when NET START is called.

For the TP4 stack to work properly, it needs to load a Data Link Interface
(DLI.DOS) driver in CONFIG.SYS. Then TP4 requires the TP4 stack (TP4.EXE) to get
loaded before a NET START.
