Abstract: 9086-001: HANGS UNLOADING PBXAAPI OR SHUTTING DOWN NETWARE


SYMPTOM:

The PCI ESCON adapter may not work properly in certain hardware platforms.

Under NetWare, unloading the PBXAAPI.NLM after active connections were established will hang the server.
This is noticed when the CHLDOWN.NCF is used. Also, when shutting down the server (i.e. DOWN and EXIT), the server will hang after typing the EXIT.

Under Windows NT no problems were reported.
