SYMPTOMS
========

If an RUI application receives a NSPE request (NS Procedure Error) from the host
and submits a positive response, the SNA Server never sends the NSPE +RSP to the
host. This problem was initially reported by an application developer writing to
the SNA Server Win32 LUA RUI programming interface. When this problem occurs, no
events are generated and there are no other problems encountered, except that
the host does not receive a NSPE +RSP on the SSCP-LU session.

CAUSE
=====

SNA Server did not support sending responses to Network Services (NS) RUs via
the RUI library. NS RU responses each require a 3-byte NS Header, though the RUI
library only accomodated a 1-byte command.

RESOLUTION
==========

The SNA Server RUI interface has been enhanced to support 3-byte response RU's
if the following conditions are met:

- the response is on the LU-SSCP session

- the FI bit is set in the RH

- the RU category is FMD

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11, 2.11
SP1, 2.11 SP2, 3.0, and 3.0 SP1. This problem has been corrected in SNA Server
3.0 SP2. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following
