Subject: Named Pipes

Date: 1 Sep 92 01:17:21 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Totally Unorganized

I recently downloaded the dosup5.zip thingie from Compu$erve, and
noticed a thing called DOSNP.EXE, that is supposed to make named pipes
available to dos apps.  If this is what it sounds like, it would be a
scheme for 2 dos apps to open opposite ends of a named pipe like is
done under UNIX (except the dos apps would have to be on different
workstations, of course, tied via the LAN).  Problem is there is no
info on HOW one does this.

So, my query is how does one take advantage of this feature?  It
sounds like it could be very useful if handled right, and I want to
try it out.  Anybody know how one gets this named pipe feature up and
operating???

E-mail would be fine, unless responding party feels this would be of
general interest (I know I would not object to a posting explaining
this).

Thanks...

Thank God this group exists!  I just became the SysAdmin for our
office, and inherited an already-installed Novell LAN.  I know
*nothing* about LANs, or Novell [but a fair amount about computers,
although in our office just knowing more than how to turn the computer
on qualifies as "computer literate" :-X]

To compound matters, the person who installed the system was "a friend
of a friend" and actually knew very little about hardware, and by his
own after-the-fact-admission, nothing about software.  In otherwords,
the system is pretty messed up.

Anyway, I've tried perusing the docs, and found them cumbersome and
unfathomable....can anyone recommend to me a good source for
understanding the basics?  [I have, of course, played amidst the
directories and files...and have learned enough to figure out how to
set up new accounts, and all those functions, at least.]

During my trips through the directories, I see that there are already
email directories set up, but I can't seem to find any email
function.  Is there any basic email ability built into Novell, or do
we have to get a separate email program?  If the latter, can somebody
recommend a low cost and very basic program to me?  We don't need
anything sophisticated, and our budget is tight so talking them into
any more software purchase may be tough...

Thanks so much!

Summary: MAC to PostScript Printers -- SLOW!;  Notify Users Job is done. 

We have setup a MAC to use a networked laser printer.  An HP 
LaserJet III, emulating postcript using Pacific Page Cartirdge, services
the Macintosh LC.  However, only small jobs can be sent to the HP III because
very large print jobs mysteriously timeout.  We assumed that since this was
not a true postcript printer and sent the larger jobs to a QMS 810.  Both
these printers are attached to Print Servers using Novell's Pserver.  The
problem in both situations is that it is too slow.  Can anyone explain why
this is so?  What can we do to speed it up without eliminating PSERVER?  (yes,
I know -- "Good luck!").

It would also help if we could somehow notify users that their print jobs
are done.  I know we can do this "on the fly" via PCONSOLE.         
Is there a way of doing this by default?

Subject: Help! arcserve can't login to non-host fileservers
Date: 26 Aug 92 06:47:21 GMT

Hello,

Anyone else had problems with Arcserve not connecting to non-host servers
to do backups? I've just installed it, and am finding that it only works
for a server other than the host if you are attached to that server. And
it won't work at all in unattended mode.

In unattended mode the error message is "Failed to login to nw-ccen-1
as supervisor - No such file or directory,5  Check fileserver, login
id and password".
- we are all on the same network (same network number)
- it is not an error in typing names or passwords!

In attended mode, if you are not attached to the target server you
cannot even edit the form to submit the job, as it says that the
servername/path  is invalid. Pressing <insert> shows only the local
host and it's floppy drives. If you do attach to the target server
before running arcserve admin then you can backup the server in this
way, volume by volume. 

We have an EISA 486, 16Mg RAM, Netware 3.11, Adaptec 1740 in standard
mode, HP35470A 2Gb Dat drive, Arcserve 4.0. We use ethernet 802.3
and I have tried lots of shells on the workstation submitting the
jobs (pdipx, ipxodi and straight ipx) in case that was relevant, to
no avail.

Clues?

I am working on a Novell Network running 2.15.  I am having a problem
modifying a menu file.  I simply want to add an additional option to
the menu.  The menu is long, but a portion looks like this:

Planned Giving (UMS)
	UMS
Telnet Menu
	%Telnet

I changed it to look like this

Planned Giving (UMS)
	UMS
Planned Giving (RTMS)
	RTMS
Telnet Menu
	%Telnet

We now have two Planned Giving programs.  UMS and RTMS are identical
batch files, except they point to two different directories.  When
running RTMS, the program acts correctly, but when you exit, an
error occurs indicating that the PROCESSNEWMENU was not on the menu
line.  The book indicates that "a menu title was specified, but the
percent symbol (%) was left out or deleted."  Anyone have any ideas.

I greatly appreciate the help.  If possible, please e-mail me at
llmacdon@orion.oac.uci.edu.

Subject: Printing with PLPD ?
Organization: CSD., University of Erlangen, Germany
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 15:53:38 GMT

Hello!
At our site we're using Netware 3.11 and Netware NFS with PLPD installed.
The attached unix site is a Sparc with LPR-services.
We have connected one Postscript printer to the Netware server and one
to the Unix Machine. To print Ascii files on the Unix host I'm using
an a2ps filter which converts the test files to postscript and sends it
to the printer. When I want to print to the Netware printer from a DOS
machine a print queue sends the file to the Sparc, and then back to the
PLPD process on the Netware Server, because it has a build-in postscript
filter.
My questions:
Is there a possibility to print directly to the Netware Server without
sending the file through the Sparc AND converting it to PS ?
Where can I find the queue entries from PLPD? sys:???
Many thanks in advance.

Yes. There are in fact two!

>What is it called?

The one that goes straight to the hardware is called TOKEN.COM.
IBMTOKEN.COM would undoubtedly have been a better name for it but I
guess it's a bit late now. The "other" one is called LANSUP.COM and
is an ODI driver for the IBM LAN Support program which, in turn, talks
to the hardware. I'd use TOKEN.COM unless you are running any IBM
networking software that requires the LAN Support Program.

>Where can I get it?

sjf-lwp.novell.com is as good a place as any. It's in the "odi" directory
in the DOSUP5.ZIP archive (together with all the other ODI drivers in our
official distribution).

>What kinds of problems should I be aware of?

None that I know of. I have used both LANSUP.COM and TOKEN.COM in anger
and it has always been a very uneventful experience.

No, you cannot load PSERVER twice.  It is not re-entrant.

TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace
   
The TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace option enables LAN WorkPlace users on a TCP/IP 
network to login to IBM mainframes running the MVS or VM operating systems.  
Users can run mainframe applications without modification, as if the user's 
personal computer werean IBM 3278 display terminal.
   
The product gives users a choice of TN3278 terminal models 2 through 5 and 
allows them to use network resources productively by supporting multiple 
sessions on multiple hosts.  Users can perform such functions as screen 
capture, print-to-disk and file transfer using the same familiar commands 
they would use from an IBM terminal.  The product also supports mainframe-
based applications that utilize extended attributes such as blinking, 
highlighting and reverse video.  

An Application Programming Interface (API) is also included with TN3270 for 
LAN WorkPlace.  The API consists of a software library of functions that can 
be used with a standard set of "C" library functions.  An application 
program utilizes the API library in order to access a IBM mainframe on a 
network via the terminal emulator.   

Pricing and Availability
   
TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace will be available in June.  The single-user version 
sells for $145 and can be obtained by calling 1-800-UPDATE1.  The 10-user 
version sells for $645 and the 100-user version sells for $3995.  Both the 
10-user and 100-user versions are available from Novell authorized 
resellers.  The product is licensed from Open Connect Systems, a recognized 
leader in the IBM connectivity field.

I would doubt that. There are applications where I get in trouble with that 
tokenring setup. Also it could be a way to circumvent the "Multiple IP

BTW - ODIPKT works well with ARCNET ODI-Drivers.
