Greetings to the net...
  
We're running a small network with a handful of 486dx-50's equipped with
Intel Etherexpress 16TP cards. The server is a 386dx-40 running NW 3.11 and
connected to an Exabyte 8500 tape drive. We've been running (or trying to
run) Legato's Networker for Netware. The server backs up just fine at the
advertised speed (200-400K/sec). The client machines on the other hand are
only getting data across at 6-10K/sec. I'm using the ODI drivers, and
believe I have things configured correctly. The client machines, when I
manually initiate a backup from that end, spend most of their time 
displaying the message "Waiting on server xxxxx". Legato, if I understand
correctly, says it is due to a timing problem exacerbated by a bug in 
NW's implementation of streams...? In any case, they suggested that Novell
was just starting to look at the problem. 
  
Is anyone else familiar with this, or been bitten by it? Is anyone aware
of a solution besides waiting for a patch from Novell? Please reply via
email, as I am not normally subscribed to this group.
  
				Thanks in advance,
				Tox

Wow ! Script on the server ? That's would be really too much ! Actually if
you are going to copy the file yourself to that directory then you might as
well do a remote server management available with Netware 3.11 with RSPX and
REMOTE utilities ...

The original poster who got chewed up for suggesting that the syntax:

by VERSION.EXE version 3.57 (cool, recursion!).  It definitely supports
 the ;password variant, but as far as I can tell, Novell removed this

I can't see why not, since Novell doesn't have any Macintosh client
for netware. If they say so, it is misinformation. They have a 
AFS (Appletalk filing system) server for netware server, which
means you have to allow ethertalk protocol on your network.
A company named Diana or something on the other hand HAS got a
netware client for Mac. This would probably work for UNIX netware
as well. But it doesn't include printing support yet.

TCP/IP is included...

Keep in mind that UnixWare is UNIX.  It is not meant to be a file server 
such as NetWare.  Plain and simple, it is a complete Unix system, with the 
added ability to act as a client on a NetWare server.  That means UnixWare 
can mount the NetWare volumes to its own file system.  This allows all 
users on the UnixWare system (local and remote) to also access the NetWare 
drives.  It also means they can use peripherals such as Networked 
printers.  The two systems complement each other wonderfully, but serve 
entirely different functions.

UnixWare does include TCP/IP.  Only the single-user version (personal 
edition) does not include TCP/IP in the base package.  However, for those 
systems dependent on TCP/IP, and not just IPX/SPX, there is a TCP/IP/NFS 
package that can be added to the personal edition to provide this.  However, 
this package is not necessary for the unlimited user version (application 
server) since TCP/IP and NFS is already included in it, as well as IPX/SPX 
support.

If you want to mount a UnixWare file system to a (DOS) pc, there are 
packages available that can provide this functionality (such as NFS client 
for Lan WorkPlace from Novell).  Since UnixWare includes full NFS 
functionality, it can export its file systems to any NFS client.
						 ^^^
UnixWare also includes a transport facility which runs on DOS clients which 
allows them to do terminal emulation via IPX/SPX.  Of course, normal Telnet, 
RSH, etc.. via TCP/IP is also supported.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, UnixWare provides all of the advantages 
of a full-blown Unix (since it is SVR 4.2).  Additionally, it allows the 
Unix clients to share resources on the NetWare servers.  Full Unix name 
space support for the NetWare servers is also provided.

If you would like more information about Univel or the various products it 
has released, there is a fax-back system.  The number is 1-800-4UNIVEL.  
Outside the U.S. the number is 801-568-8548.  The fax system has documents 
describing UnixWare products, technical support, reseller authorization, 
Developer Relations, and 
Education.

We use several Calculus fax servers here. They are quite satifactory.
The key reason we selected Calculus is it will run non-dedicated in any 
PC connected to the network.  The product consists of a card and software.
You can contact Calculus at (408) 733-7800.

Yes.  You used DOS 5.0 when you ran DOSGEN.  You need to patch the

I've read that LAN Workplace for DOS 4.1 includes support for dialup
connections via PPP and SLIP. Does anyone know if these drivers will be made
available to those of us who would like dialup connections BUT do NOT need
the full blown suite of programs supplied in LW4D.

I'm particularly interested in using this option with MS-Kermit 3.12.

  That also assumes that the Lan Driver software can use all seven of those
interrupts, if it can't then the driver software is the limitation.

P.s. BY menu driven I mean that after installing novell 3.11. i can
do administration stuff,or adding users by menu driven software. For

Hija...

I need some help on the problem of search drive mappings on Novell 3.11.
I am writing a shell program in TP6.0 that allows the user to call various
programs froma menu selection. For security and setup reasons I want to
log in the user of the program in on various novell accounts and then run
the selected program.

When I shell out from my pascal program and login as another user nasty
things happen to the drive and search drive mappings. Not only do the
sub-shell mappings get all goofy, sometimes have 3 or 4 mappings to the same
search path, these mapping problems don't go away when I exit the sub shells,
instead the longer I tun the program the more goofy things get.

I have been able to minimize this problem by running my shell program under
a novell account that has very minimal drive mappings, thus keeping the
mess to a minimum.

Can I avoid all this? I there a way to get my login script drive mappings
working ok? Optimally I'd like each shell to have a perfect pristine search
path setup, and when I exit, I want the old one restore in full w/o lingering
drive mappings from the sub shell.

Thanks so much!
