Hi Novelers,
I know that Windows 3.1 supports VCPI under the standard mode. However,
you can only task switch applications under the standard mode as you
know. I hope this helps.

I tried it, and it connected to a 2.15c server, but not the 3.10a server on
our net.  I also tried pmmac (pegasus mail for the mac) on the 2.15c server,
and pmmac complained about not seeing the server or somthing.  I even invoked
it from the 2.15c server!  The concept is good, but until it runs pmmac, no
sale to me.  This was as of several months ago, so things could be better
now.

One thing you can do (as a workaround) is to make a bootable floppy and
use the DOS-from-Drive A: thing. Then you should be able to access your
network in the usual fashion.

I tried that beast some time ago. It has one week point: For every (!)
file you possibly want to replace it scans the whole directory structure 
the local drive. So if you put it into your login script scanning for
4 files, your login will be susbtantially prolonged.

What I would really need is is a kind of DOS Replace command beeing able to
work on a script, maybe also dependent on network and/or station adresses.

How is the MAC networked?  Can you access the Novell server from it?
If so, it is a matter of installing the MAC NLM and instructing it to
to setup a Novell queue that can then be serviced by the print server
(or queue server) that is servicing the HP.  The trick is to leave
the HP IIIsi in postscript mode.  Word Perfect will support
Postscript so defining a print job is not necessary unless you have
other applications that don't support postscript.

My company distributes many EISA Ethernet adapters.  Among the best are the
Microdyne 235-T (which has replaced the Eagle/Anthem NE3200), and a new
product from Accton Technologies that offers BNC, AUI and 10Base-T connections
on one board.  We also carry several "dual channel" boards which allows you
to string two sub-LANs on one NIC, which is a nice feature.

Feel free to call or fax for more information and pricing.

Hello,

I have begun playing with Lan Workplace for Windows 4.01.  It is nice
compared to Qvtnet and basic Telnet.  One glich that I have faced is
that FTPing shows directories on certain servers as folders and seems
to be basically useless.  I tried most of the various settings: UNIX,
other, VMS, VM/MV(?), OS/2, DOS.  My efforts were to no avail.  The
places I tried were wuarchive.wustl.edu, Splicer, simtel...

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Sorry if this has been answered
often.

Subject:      netx 3.26 shells

Greetings!

I'm hoping this isn't too silly of a question, but I haven't had
time to search around for any docs on this. With the NETX shells
that came with Windows 3.1, v3.26, I find that the machine name
is not read from the NET.CFG/SHELL.CFG file. I have LONG MACHINE = MS_DOS
to have a generic area where MS DOS is located on the network, which
works under 3.22 of the shell, but not 3.26. Has something changed
that I simply missed the documentation on? I want to use this shell
with my lab boot disks for fall semester. Right now, it defaults to
IBM_PC, which doesn't make sense with Zeniths, HP Vectras, and Gateway 2000's.

Any help or direction to the documentation regarding this will be
greatly appreciated!

Ok...if I have two volumes, say VOL_A, and VOL_B, which consume an entire

We found in our testing that a NetWare server running NW4Mac is
significantly quicker than any Appleshare server.  More so under load !

X-To:         NOVELL@SUVM.SYR.EDU

This is my first installation of Netware 3.11.  Can someone help me with the
final stages... I seem to be at an impass.

The general idea is to use the Server (8mb RAM, 150MB HDD, 386DX-40) as the
connection between our workgroup and the rest of the campus backbone.  Here is
a diagram:


                                             +-----{workstation}
                     +-----------{DAVID_hub2}+-----{workstation}
{FILESERVER}         |                       +-----{workstation}
   TOP >--10BaseT---[1]
BOTTOM >--10BaseT---[2]---------------------{DAVID_hub1}-+->{CAMPUS BACKBONE}
                                                         |
                                                  {Webster Gatwy}

The backbone is TCP/IP, and AppleTalk to TCP/IP is being handled by a Gateway.
As seen below, I am using 2 NE2000 UTP cards and trying to "bind" AppleTalk and
IPX onto each to make the fileserver as transparent as possible.  Can someone
please shed some light on the subject.  The "Top" ne2000 works with IPX when
connected to number 1 (above), but AppleTalk doesn't.  When the "bottom" ne2000
is connected to #2 it transmits neither, however it does EtherTalk when
connected to #1.  Any suggestions...?

here is the autoexec.ncf file...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
file server name NEED4SPEED
ipx internal net FFFA

load appletlk net=57941 zone={"Ethernet"}

#Top=Local Net,Bottom=Campus_Backbone

Hm... I don't think that depends on software. The IBM boards run fine here on
8 MHz (which is, up to my knowledge, the Original AT's bus speed, but fail
above that. We use quite recent 16/4 boards.

Runs perfectly here...

I haven't heard of one.

Hope this is an EISA or MC System ? If not, workstation busspeed
is definitely not the bottleneck of your network :-)

From the first response to the question I must mention that I am
trying to set up a local anonymous ftp site, and was wondering how to go
about it and get the same results as the novell ftp site.

I load ftpserv.nlm with the following parameters:

       load ftpserv -g /sys/public

However, this does not yield the same results as ftp.novell.com, in that it
will not ask the user for their e-mail address.

Any help appreciated.

Subject: ? User addresses ? Which way is best ?

We (School of Business, Lakehead University) are debating whether or not
standardized naming conventions for user addresses on our university net
make sense.

We have discussed a seven or eight character user identifier as follows:

X XX XXXX X
1 23 4567 8

1        A single character for user code.
         A = Admin   F = Faculty   S = Student   R = Research   L = Lab

2,3      A two character school or department code (e.g. BA for Business 
         Admin; NU for Nursing)

4,5,6,7  The first four letters of the user's surname (or lab machine #).

8        Optional.  Reserved for an initial or number when needed to make
         unique addresses (e.g. two Business students, same surname).

For example,

FBAHAND       Faculty        Business Admin    HANDford, bruce
FNUWALT       Faculty        NUrsing           WALTers, john s.
LBAWS01       Lab            Business Admin    Work Station 01
ABASMITA      Admin          Business Admin    SMITh, Angela
ABASMITG      Admin          Business Admin    SMITh, Grant

The advantages we have identified lie in

1. assigning uniform account names to facilitate file and disk maintenance
   (e.g. all student accounts are easily tracked and handled).

2. Mailing lists produced and sorted from such addresses will group logically
   and intelligibly.

3. Name searches on Pegasus Mail could be done even without the name of
   the individual. For example, a person attempting to contact a faculty
   member in the School of Nursing (but unsure as to the person's
   name) could use the search string FNU to produce a list of all 
   nursing faculty from which to choose.

4. Although the ID's do not appear `personal' user names are always 
   appended to mail headers and signatures.

We would appreciate your comments.  Thank you.

We have discovered a bug, we believe, in the SEND program.
(that's Andy and me)

SEND interprets a full stop (period) as a separator. So if I have a
user called ANDY.B and try to
	send "hello there" to ANDY.B
I will get an error message saying users ANDY and B do not exist!

Has anyone else encountered this or, pushing it here, got a bugfix
for it?
