        Yes, the small memory server is grossly out of memory. NW 3.x typically
dies when it runs out of memory, and I think you have encountered that
situation.

Subject:      MurkWorks FTPD NLM vis Czech.. Issue resolved

The time difference between EST and CZ time has made communication
difficult.

I have just received a note from Michal Meloun, author of the `Czech' FTPD
NLM.

Until Mr. Meloun makes a statement of his own, I can only say that at least
from MurkWorks standpoint, this issue has been resolved.

Mr. Meloun has offered to change some of the appearance of his program.
Presumably this will happen very soon. Hopefully when he is done he will
release the new version for everyone to enjoy. It is a good piece of
work.

I'm sorry to have caused any consternation to individuals on this list
with respect to this issue. Its unfortunate that it happened this way,
but I think everyone has learned from this experience.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new NLM from Mr. Meloun, as Clarkson
will probably make use of it. Sound strange? Well, you can't sell a
product to yourself, so Clarkson will probably never have a MurkWorks
product while I still work here.

Thanks all

brad

Greetings Novellites!

I have a problem here, wot I currently have is a CNET CN50E Pocket Ethernet
Adapter for a laptop.

Bundled with the adaptor is a packet driver (CNET.COM) which can be used to
configure the packet interface no# eg. 0x60 etc..

Wot I really need, is a MLID driver for it.  So as to route different protocols
over ethernet.

Any suggestions on a FTP site where I can obtain info. would be appreciated!

We use them exclusively nowadays.  The suckers almost ALWAYS work.
We've had bad luck with Tiara and LanMaster cards, especially.  I get
mine from a place in Utah that sells them and other new/used/refurbished
computer & lan equipment at quite decent discounts.

They operate perfectly with standard arcnet drivers.  If you want some
extra speed, leave them set in TC's Extended mode and use TC's special
drivers that come with the cards.  The boards are configured out of the
box for Extended mode so make sure you select Compatible mode if you
want to use the generic arcnet Novell drivers with them.

I am running several printers under rprinter on a token ring in

another token ring connected through the campus backbone.

Getting them signed on is no problem, but a very important part of
is to bring their printer on. Unfortunately, when I run rprinter
the machine hangs.  Back at the pserver, the window shows connecting
but the system goes no further.

Do I need something more than route.com to connect these systems for

I thought the name space was just for HPFS.  I'm running pure
FAT type files here.  They should only have the standard DOS (and
netware) attributes. This is an important question since I don't
have sufficient memory to load another name space .

Compared to ~$45 for a dumb hub (e.g., David System's VolksNet) or
~$65 for an intelligent hub with SNMP (e.g., Asante's 1701, the 1012
hub with SNMP).

Don't get me wrong, HP's stuff is first-rate, it's just up at the
high-end of the price scale.

We originally started intalling our 10Base-T with dumb hubs (both the
DSI VolksNet and Cabletron MRX) and kept a couple of smart hubs in
stock (Cabletron MRXI) for troubleshooting.  However, as the number of
10Base-T ports grew, we realized that a smart hub could help cut down
on our troubleshooting time (no need to run-around to wiring closets
to look at hub status, and so on).  About the same time, we learned
about Asante's 1701 intelligent hubs, which only cost about $200 more
than the dumb hubs we were using.  Since that time we have only
purchased the Asante hubs.  They're larger and a little harder to
wall-mount that the VolksNet, but IMHO this is more than offset by the
advantages of SMTP management.

I also would be very interested in something like that. Not only for the
reasons mentioned above, but also:


          I have written something that will do all of these things..
          It's called 'Monitor' (real original 'eh?). I'm still beta
          testing it but it works like this. You input the p_station
          address of the machines you want to watch. Then every 10
          secs or so it polls the machines to see which machines are
          logged in and who is using them. As soon as someone logs off
          the network, it writes a record to a database file. The way
          we have it set up so we use .bat files to run the apps we
          have. So I made a companion program called 'Snoop' to record
          who was running what program when. I think this would be
          helpful for both of the situations.

          If you would like more info or a copy to try out on your
          network send me private e-mail.

Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

Hello, at Temple University, Ambler Campus, our concensus for student labs
has shown that a good mix serves the purpose of making a trouble free lab.

The way we do it is to acquire workstations with minimal hard disks (around
40 MB appears to be the norm) and allow all writing of changeable files to
go to the local hard disk. This proves well in windows apps where temp files
and the temporary swap files don't impede net traffic. For apps like Word-
Pefect, it also takes the hassle out of organizing where to put the writable
files. Our server then is read access only with no changes arising from
users or viruses. The hard is also effectively erased upon each diskless boot
allowing no user files or copyrighted materials to remain once the user who
may wish to install a package, leaves the lab. For apps requiring write access,
they are copied down, executed and erased. So far, we have had no virus
infections and we have had students and faculty come in with virused materials.

As to overall security, it must still rely on how your net manager decides to
set access and menu priorities. Of course, open hard disk machines in any
lab (to our experience) has been a disaster as we usually put out the fires
of people installing, modifying and deleting materials. But this method
provides a more distributed load. If you put everything on the network, you
have to create storage limits and purge frequently, and all that traffic
will be on your net wire using up all the bandwidth. Just a thought.

Hi everyone,

Here's the senario:
        We have a NW 3.11 server, with a lot of pc's but only one mac.
We've created a namespace for the mac, and the mac is connected to the
server through an external ethernet card, which uses the parallel port
of the mac.  Before the mac was networked, we had a hpiii attached to
the mac.  My question is how can we keep the mac networked, and still
be able to use the local printer?  This does not seem to be a problem
with pc's with local printers, but I just don't know how to do the
same thing with the mac and its printer.

Thank you very much for your help.

Forrest, i must admit i've never had the inclination to send e-mail at

Back to the subject:
We changed from a 486/25 server with 660Mb on board and 16Mb of memory to
a Research Machines (UK's biggest supplier of computing gear) 486/50
Tower with 1.2G and 16Mb of RAM. Major difference is the new server is using
an Ultrastor SCSI Host adaptor whereas the in the old server it was an ISA
 disk.Anyway, with old server we had 'primary controller interrupt lost'
console messages usually about 10 times per day. Now the new server has been up
and running for a mammoth 3 days and no messages and that is with nearly
full quota of users. As to the reason, i can only assume that a complete
change of disk type and the fact that we are now using Intel Etherexpress
32 bit cards may have helped matters.

  Use the latest ODI drivers and NETX.  These can all be removed from

I am looking for a combination FAX/Modem that would be accessable to
anyone on our server.  Does anyone know of a source?

I just received my Novell Support Encyclopedia CD-ROM, and need to buy
a drive.  Some drives say 680MB drives and some say 540MB.  Does anyone
know the difference?

While we are on the subject, can anyone recommend a good Multimedia kit
with a CD-ROM?

Please send responses to me so people won't get upset.

Thanks
