Hi


I am not to sure whether this is a silly question or not, maybe someone
can help me.

What I am trying to do is partly automate the mail from within pathworks.
for example have a check for any new when first connecting to the lan, and
also when new mail is sent a message is sent to the recievor informing them
of any new mail.

I am aware of the option in mailsetup that allows your connection to remain
after connecting to mail, but you still need to run mailchk to see if any
new mail has arrived. What I would like is something along the lines of
the message that BCAST is capable of sending. Also the user must enter mail
for this connection to be established.


Any help with this matterr would be greatly appreciated.

Folks...

     I must ask for your forgiveness. It seems as if I have goofed.
In an effort to tell about windows 3.1 and pathworks. it seems I
posted the wrong message (i.e the wrong file was sent to Usenet).
I'll try to be more careful the next time.

With our 3COM cards (the 3C503), we had to go into NCP on the PC side
and issue the command:
 
NCP> set exec rece pipe quota 3
 
The problem was that the receive buffer on the 3COM cards was quite a bit
less than on Digital's cards, and the buffer setting was based on the
assumption that you had one of DEC's cards.  You may be encountering
something similar.  Try setting the receive pipe quota down to 2 or 3,
and see if that helps.

The "memory leaks" are calls for memory allocation that do not release the 
memory on exit.  An easier solution to the memory allocation that rebooting 
is the following command procedure:
$sysgen
use active
set pfratl 1
write active
exit
$ wait 00:05:00
$sysgen
use active
set pfratl 0
write active
exit
$exit

This should be run during "off hours" as it will cause a slowdown.  It
will set the physical memory to the same point as stop and restart.  This
problem is still present in 4.1 8-{

It's not necessary to explicitly exclude anything to get WIN3.1 to run in
enhanced mode.  If you run QEMMs Optimize program (V6.0 and above) it
should take care of any exclusions needed automatically.  My config.sys
file starts with the line:

		DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM

...no exclusions, not even for the ethernet board.  Works great with
Win3.1 in enhanced mode.

We currently have a small campus-wide computer network spanning three
buildings and approximately 100 work stations ( and approx. 20 printers).
This network is now being served by a VAX 6410 (VMS 5.4, PW 4.0, PW/MAC 1.0)
for file, application and print sharing and mail serving.  We have integrated
both PCs and Macs into our network and anticipate other platforms in the
future.
 
We are in the process of expanding our network into every building on campus
so that it will then span 8 academic buildings and 8 dormitories for a total
of 16 buildings and approx. 1700-2000 users.  At the same time we would like
to turn the VAX into our primary file and mail server, while installing
distributed servers for the purpose of application and print sharing.  The
only solution we have considered thus far is a Pathworks Server 3100e.
 
Important features to us:
-Multiple desktop devices must be cable of being served (PCs Macs SUNs)
-Mail Support
-Remote Boot capability
-Internet access from all nodes
-DECnet support
-TCP/IP support
-MS Windows support
 
Information we seek:
 
Recommended Servers
Maximum # of users per server
Preferred operating system for the servers
Approx. cost/server
Ability of server to meet above needs
Recommended location of server(in each workgroup/bldg?all in computer center?)
 
Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance.

First upgrade the QEMM to 6.0.  After that you must exclude some segment of the
B000-B7FF for 386 enhanced operation.  From my experience, how much you 
have to exclude will depend on which Video driver you are using.  I use the 
TIGA and only have to exclude B000-B0FF.  You also have to exclude CC00-CCFF for
386 operation.  WIN 3.1 automatically knows you are running V4.1 of Pathworks
and DOS 5.0.  We have two people up on DEC 433pc and except for the QEMM stuff
it has been no problem.

    What versions of SETHOST.EXE, LAT.EXE (VT320.EXE) are you using? Whose
    terminal server? I think there was long time ago either a LAT or T.E. 
    problem in PW4DOS that failed with LAT services that had passwords.
    
    The most recent one I remember was in the original V4.0 TRMNLAXS.DLL 
    (which is the "terminal access library" DLL for the Windows VT320.EXE).
    
    For SETHOST I don't recall seeing this since V3.0.
    
    I.e. as far as I know, accessing a password protected LAT service should 
    work in any current releases (if not - I can't check now, since I'm not 
    at work -, you should call your Digital support center to make it happen).
    
    About Kermit I don't know. Try the University of Columbia.

Date: 9 Apr 92 15:21:34 GMT
Organization: Eindhoven University of Technology, , The Netherlands.

Two questions:

1)
In pathwork versions prior to 4.1 it was possible to remove the
DNP process from memory with the following command set:
               NCP set circuit state off
               NCP set line state off
               NCP set executor state off
In the new version this doesn't work anymore. 
I need dnp (DNNETH) only to access mail, afterwards it can be removed. 
Any idea how to kick it out ?


2)
Since the latest version the executable SETNAME is realy essential.
If I don't use it, I can't create connections to servers over DNP.
In prior versions, I never used setname.
What is the basic function of this piece of code?


Thanks in advance,

Yes this is the case.  Both areas must have an area router in order
for clients access servers in a different area.  I have been doing
this very thing since V3.  I can't answer the PC area routing for
you but I don't think so.

I saw these notes and had to try it to see if I could get Kermit to work with
WP51 on the VAX through ethernet _and_ maintain graphics. (When using CTERM,
you don't get any graphics and I can't get WP51 to even start up with LAT. I
just get logged out.)
 
To connect to a password protected item, simple type USE COMx: service_name *
like you would with any other password protected service in pathworks.  The
only service I have gotten to work so far is our Micom switch.

Hi,
   Forgive me if this is a FAQ or a stupid question...
   Does there exist a packet-driver version of the DLL ?
I am currently using PCSA vsn 3, so an old one would be okay; when
pathworks client software reaches CONDIST I'll be able to use NDIS.
[ I am currently using WD's DLL, so I know other vsns exist.]
 
   Another hypothetical option (given that I dont know how the DLL works)
- is it possible for other programs, such as a packet driver for example,
to 'hook into' the DLL, for unrecognised packets. I believe netware's IPX
for example, allows this ? Does anyone have a packet driver that would
hook into the DLL, or maybe the protocol required, so I could write my
own packet driver ?

	The DNP in V4.1 is a new implementation and you have found two
differences.  I believe that the V4.1 DNP can only be removed by the
documented/supported UNLOAD.BAT (or whatever they call it now) procedure
that uses MEMMAN to remove the TSRs.

	SETNAME is a Microsoft supplied LAN Manager utility.
It's primary purpose in life is the register (ADD NAME) the client node
names in NETBIOS.  Previous versions of DNN/NETBIOS did this during their own
startup,  though it could be disabled with the /NAM:N  switch.

Evidently is this no longer.  SETNAME makes some other pokes at DOS and the
Redirector, so it was probably best to remove redundant functions from DNP's 
memory space  and bring us more inline with typical LAN MAN configurations.

Due to Mathematica's design, I wasn't running any memory manager at all.
All the network components were loaded low.  Now that you bring it up,
though, I'm going to verify that I wasn't loading PSC or PRTSC during the
tests.  Are you running Mathematica with PCSA loaded?  Thanks for your
feedback.

    Yes, there is a way...

    Microsoft documents this in their Microsoft Windows Device Development
    Kit (DDK).
    
    In specific, you need the manual Device Driver Adaptation Guide. It
    contains a couple of chapters about network support. The calls you'd
    use (WNetAddConnection, WNetCancelConnection, etc.) are in Chaper 7, 
    Network Drivers. The manual has the Microsoft part number 08514.
    
    I don't know whether it can be obtained separately or if you have
    to get the full DDK.

You should check the syntax of your RESTORE-command.
 
it should read something like: RESTORE L: C:\*.* /S
 
The "star-dot-star" is important. DOS is rather quirky about this command
