We have been running 3.11 on an IBM Model 95 that has been upgraded to
486/50.  No problems at all.  Runs like a champ.

We have a Xircom External Ethernet Adaptor.  Its quite nice (autosenses
media type, simple drivers, most everything supported).  The only drawbacks
are its size; they must mean a giants pocket.  The ethernet device is a
box about the size of a trackball (a bit larger).  It requires a power
adaptor for itself.  The cable going from the adaptor to the portable is
very short (1-2 feet) and not terribly flexible (printer cable!).  AUI,
ThinNet, and 10BaseT are supported.

If you were thinking of just attaching this to a notebook and turning into
super network-tech guy, think again.  You'll need to carry a case or bag for
the ethernet stuff.  But for a lackadaisical portable PC, its nice.

We were more concerned about obscene or annoying messages sent to
people with the send command.  We could of moved or removed the send
command, but many students have local copies, so we do not have

The Machine:

486-25 EISA (Zenith, 9 months old)
165 meg IDE (64) 
3c505
Novell 2.2
8megs ram

The Problem:

No floppy drive, will spin but I get a DRIVE ERROR, can't bf0 from monitor,  
disk just spins. 

History:

This was a working server. I can still boot to Novell and the machine runs  
fine. I wanted to add a disk. So I added a SCSI Hard drive, ran the Zenith EISA  
config. util, then verified the new config. successfully, saved the file to  
disk, locked the system board config., exitted then rebooted.

HOW do I reset the EPROM to factory defaults? 

I have the battery sitting on the table now. I'll call Zenith Monday but I need  
to get this thing back on line by Monday too. All suggestions welcome.

LAN chip products.  This acquisition makes SMC one of the largest vendors of
PC LAN products in the world.

Now, All EtherCard PLUS adapters developed by Western Digital, including
their popular EliteSeries are products of SMC

As usual, "it depends".

If your filesever is EISA, it should be pretty good.

If your users are just doing light tasks (word processing) with software
installed on their local hard drives, performance should still be good.

If you run software off the server performance will degrade.

If you pull big files off the server alot, performance will also degrade.


You will probably be ok.  Plan on getting an EISA motherboard in a year
if things get slow, though.


$2500 should be enough to get a local dealer to install a new MB for you,
plus $500 for a decent caching controller.

I apologize for this, as I know it came up not too long ago.  I need to recover
a forgotton supervisor password on one of our 3.11 servers.  According to
Novell, I have to fill out some form in triplicate, get one notarized by a
notery public, and wait for a special NLM.  My question is:  isn't there an
easier way?  (How unsafe are most Novell installations that they can't include
a simple console command to do this?).

Sorry to have to acknowledge that the RARPSERV.NLM available on
sjf-lwp.novell.com simply doesn't work properly when IP forwarding
is enabled.

About all I can do at this point in time is update the readme.txt
with a warning about the anomaly.

This NLM was built quickly and was not intended for commercial
distribution.  I made it available in a rather clandestine fashion
because it is known to be useful in some circumstances.

BTW, the DOS-based RARP server on sjf-lwp.novell.com is small and
unobtrusive, so that it could be run on various nodes on different
segments.  The nodes running it need not be dedicated to the task.

That said, we're working on a proper RARP/BOOTP server NLM of a more
complete nature to be included in a future product release.  Again,
my apologies for not having the time or resources to fix the thing
(RARPSERV.NLM) right now.

First off, is the token ring located in the same area? If it is, why not
set up a novell internal bridge that goes to the token ring net?

You may also want to check other option like lan modems from shiva, telebit
netblazers, and Microtest to mention a few. Also how would they get onto
the Token Ring? Terminal servers or another Netware system??

Netware NACS is basicly several PC's on a card and from the experiences I
have heard from other people, unless you're planning 9600+ communications,
it isn't worth it for DOS.

I think I would look at working backward from the RS/6000 to the NOVELL
network. If they are in close, you may even think of setting up an IP
bridge since 3.11 will support IP routing through networks.


That's my .02 worth... Good Luck.

John;

Thanks for your input -- it sounds like your hitting it close.  I am exporting
BOTH the root and subdirs, although NO machine mounts the root (I am going to
remove it from the exports list, after reading your message).

I also will be receiving the upgrade; let's keep our fingers crossed...

We had the same problem, the cause was having a PC client print a "TEXT" vs. 
a "BINARY" file (out of Word Perfect v5.1) to an Appletalk'd LaserWriter 
IINT via ATPS.   See if you have any print jobs waiting in the ATPS Queue or 
submitted at the first "ECB" count problem - which leads to the ABEND.

Make sure that the "Capture" setup for any PC Clients are set to "BINARY" 
for your print queues.  If you do not have the above configurations (PC's 
printing to a LaserWriter) possibly the problem is reversed, thus, a MAC 
printing to the IIIsi could be the culprit.

Hope this helps,

primarily Zenith 386 computers.  The Maynard backup works fine for the
server.  Remote backups are still a problem.  Maynard sent their most
recent release last week to "fix" the remote backup problem.  My remote
backup problem still exists.  We have the remote stations publish their
availability and when I leave in the evening it looks ok.  However, when
I check the next morning, the remote sites were not present and they are
not present while I am checking.  The only way to see the remote sites is
to reboot the system with the tape backup.  This is not the most ideal
situation as I really want to set this up on an unattended computer which
will only be checked once a week or so.

Does anyone use a tape backup system which will actually do remote backups
successfully?  I am looking for a new system, hopefully, to replace the
Maynard MaynStream 525Q.
