Server Utilities
nwcm
spx=value Specify if the SPX driver is started by the
NPS daemon (npsd).
SPX works with the IPX transport to
guarantee successful delivery of data
packets. IPX is a datagram service and SPX
is a connection-based service. Some
NetWare services, such as printing and NVT,
require SPX.
Supported values: Yes, No
Default: Yes
spx_max_connections=
number
Specify the maximum number of
connections the SPX can support.
Small systems might want to decrease this
parameter to conserve memory resources.
Increase this parameter if connections are
failing because no more devices or sockets
are available.
If the system is using NetWare print services,
allow enough connections for the print
server, the printers, and other NetWare
servers serviced by the print server.
Systems configured for NVT services
probably need to increase this parameter
because NVT uses SPXII for its underlying
protocol.
Supported values: 5 to 1010
Default: 1010
