I would be interested in any replies to this query. The problems
mentioned are a little similar to problems I am having getting
a com1 (server) printer running under 2.2 with either core printing

I believe it is not possible to put this attribute on a directory.

BUT... The sharable attribute is only used by programs that open files in the
"DOS 2.0 compatability mode".  If you open the files "properly" (ie DOS 3.1
sharing modes) the FLAG assigned sharing attributes are ignored.

Can you have your program modified?

it looks as thought you *can* do it, but i haven't ever made it work.
i really only tried it because it said you *could*, i wanted to try a cheap 
duplex setup. My problem was that my HDD controllers couldn't move their IRQ 
to a new place, although they moved their I/O. Also i couldn't disable the 
floppy bits, but you can get away with that if no floppy is connected to one 
of them. Basically it seems as though it should work but you'd need a pair 
of HDD controllers where one of them at least lets you configure all the 
parameters with jumpers.

No it doesn't. FILTER.NLM and it's associated FLTRLIB.NLM filter jobs
coming from UNIX systems before they get deposited into NetWare queues.
They do nothing with regard to the NetWare -> UNIX print gateway
redirection. UNIX systems typically filter jobs at the system which
has the printer (ie. the server, not the client).

Only if they come from UNIX systems (or from any LPD/LPR client for that
matter).

The Crynwr IPXPKT program allows PCs, with network cards that only have
IPX.COM as a network driver, access to unix system running TCP/IP.
Is this an official specification? If not why not? If it might be, (given that
not every network card supports ODI) then would it be possible to have a
NLM running in the server (3.x only) which could strip the IPX "coat" and
resend the packet as IP. This "routing" appears to cause more problem than
anything else. I still haven't got it to work over Token Ring...

I have been using Norton's Network Benchmark to test the speed of a new
ethernet backbone I am installing using FiberMux Hubs.  I have found in
the past that average reads and writes range between 210-250K/sec.
 
Using the Kalpana Etherswitch as a bridge between segments does not seem 
to affect the rate of reads and writes.  However, in these new Hubs i 
am using a bridge card that will seperates two segments within the same hub
I have found that going thru this bridge the speed of the reads and writes
drop dramatically to somewhere between 150-175k/sec.  While not going thru 
the bridge, but remaining within one segment of the hub, the reads and 
writes are around 225k/sec.
 
The Specs on the Fibermux bridge card show that forwarding rate is 13,000 P
and the filter rate is 26,000 PPs.
 
My question is, Should the bridge slowdown the network that much?  It seems
to me that slowdown is much more than should be occuring.
 
any comments would be helpful.

We have a small Novell network consisting of 5 IBM PS/2 Model 70s
with 3C523 ethernet cards as clients running MSDOS 5.0, IPX, and NETX.
The Server is a PS/2 Model 95 486 with another 3C523 ethernet card,
IBM PS2 SCSI card with cache.  The Server's Novell 3.11 datecode is 2/20/91.
Unfortunately this whole thing was setup way before I took this job
and I inherited its main problem: printing.  When any of the clients
(with WordPerfect 5.1) print to the server attached LaserJet IID
(via LPT1 on the server), they get random garbage/junk thrown into
the documents they submit 50% of the time.  I've tried using WordPerfect
with AND without (the latter via WordPerfect's built-in Novell print
support) Novell's CAPTURE.  I've directly connected the LaserJet IID to
a client and printed successfully.  I booted the server in DOS and used
a minimal copy of WordPerfect and printed successfully.  Its not
the client hardware and its not the printer, its somewhere in the Novell code
(client side or server side).  

Anyone seen this before?  I'm at wits end on this problem.

Subject: Automatic Printout Overlay !!!
Date: 19 Aug 92 23:56:59 GMT
Organization: University of Washington, Seattle


In the current spirit of recycling and conservation of waste, we are
desperately seeking a program/package for novell v2.15 that will       
overlay a message (i.e. "Department of Physics") on every printout
from our printers. We have rather liberal access interms of printing
on our computers. Although this fostered more people to use the
computers and type their reports, it also created problems with
excess printing (i.e. reprinting of resumes because of a tinny
mistakes), multiple printing (i.e. using the printer as a copy
machine to printout multiple resumes), and printing for other purposes
not related to our department. I believe this problem has gotten out
of hand as it stands now, and we are in need to remedy this.      

After much thinking, we felt that the best answer to our problem,
and not hinder computer accessibility, was to have an automatic
overlay of a message on every  printout. And we were wondering if
such programs exist for novell? If so, could you inform us with  
the name of this program and where it can be found, so that we
can put an end to the excessive waste?

We have seem a similar package that accomplishes this for the
Macintosh, and has helped great deal in reducing wasteful printing.
We hope very much if such product exists for the PCs.

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

I would like to clear up any confusion I caused with the above posting.  The
customer is actually right in saying the APPLETLK.NLM (v 3.03 or earlier) does
not register itself as a router on the net.  However, APPLETLK.NLM 3.04 DOES
REGISTER ITSELF AS "NETWARE ROUTER."  This stack has been out for some time on
NetWire under NOVLIB8.  It's file name is ATSUP.ZIP.  This is actually the
APPLETALK SUPPORT PACKAGE and contains some other modules as well, but as far
as this issue is concerned, APPLETLK.NLM (v3.04) is the module of interest.  So
if your APPLETLK.NLM is not registering itself properly, check the version by
typing the command MODULES at the server's console prompt.  If it is 3.03 or
earlier, you can update this stack version with the APPLETLK.NLM v 3.04 which is
contained in the file ATSUP.ZIP under NOVLIB8 on NetWire.

Sorry for the confusion. From now on, I will look at version numbers with more 
detail when considering customer's questions that are posted to the net...

Think Peace...

Subject: SPX works on LAN without Netware server ?

Hi,

I have just finished developing a C library for inter-workstation-
communication using the SPX protocol. I tested this library on a
Novell network and it works without any problems.

The SPX/IPX protocol is implemented in the Netware shell (IPX.COM),
as far as I know, anyway. So out of pure interest, I tried out the
same library on a net without any Netware server, but it would not
work there ! (Well, some IPX-stuff worked, like a broadcast to a
known socket, but none of the SPX-stuff. May be I should also mention
that one workstation opens an SPX connection to itself, but that
works fine on the other net).

Do you need a Netware server somewhere in the net to use SPX/IPX so ?
