We are experimenting with the KA9Q Setup as a SLIP router between a modem 
and our campus ethernet. Works fine so far. We have tested as clients IBMs 
TCP/IP for DOS and OS/2 (btw: good packages!), KA9Q itself, SLIP8250 packet 
driver with SLIPDIAL. Sometimes problems occur with the client modems: the 
SLIP packages doesn't connect correct to the modem (the send data, but didn'
t receive IP packages, even if the router sends them). We are using 14.400 
Baud modems (ZYXEL,USR), maybe a problem with the setup of highspeed modems.
Performance is good: up to 1.200 Char/sec to a campus FTP server.

The BIG problem we didn't solve yet: security.

The modem at the router is in auto-answer mode, so if someone calls, he get 
access to the internet. So our network administrator isolated the IP traffic 
from the SLIP to the campus network.

Has anybody a solution ? Password-protected SLIP ? Does PPP has some 
security features ?

There doesn't seem to be a Packet Driver solution (yet) for OS/2. Perhaps
some industrious soul out there is working on a virtual packet driver device
driver for OS/2, but I don't think it exists yet.

I solved it by putting a second ethernet card in my machine to run the PD
stuff on. I can only load the packet driver in one DOS window, naturally,
but it does work. We get 3C503's for about $135, so it wasn't a major
undertaking.

Recently I broke down and bought IBM's TCP/IP for OS/2. It's a very nice
package that has essentially obviates the need for PD applications. I would
still prefer to use Trumpet to read News, and I do have a network monitoring
program that wants PD, but it has solved most of my needs. Plus it gives me
X-windows and the ability to Telnet into my machine (gee, kinda sounds like
Unix!).

Date: 2 Sep 92 18:26:02 GMT
Organization: Wharton Marketing

I'd like to use two 3c527 boards in the same ps/2 server. Currently I have 
one loaded using frame type ethernet_ii. IPX is bound on net 2 to this card. 
The other one is loaded using frame type ethernet_802.3 and bound to net 1. 
I'd like to use frame type ethernet_ii on BOTH cards, but don't understand 
how to specify a net number that doesn't send out spurious network 
identification messages.

The reason I don't want to run both 802.3 and e_ii is that some people 
around this campus put up novell networks where the server and clients don't 
use the same type of ethernet, and my server is acting as a frame translator 
for them, taking up quite a bit of cpu time.

Ideally it would allow several tutors to operate over the same LAN at

Probably the best solution I can think of is to use Quarterdeck's QEMM386. This
will provide you with your UMBs and is far better at placement than DOS 5. It
also comes with a program called Manifest which shows you the config. of your

Different people, different problems, I guess.  Just for the record, we have
had some server crashing (although infrequently), but vrepair works great for
repairing our volumes.  I do, however, always run vrepair twice on every
volume to ensure that the problems have been fixed, and they always are.
System size is comparable to yours...hmmm...

Yes, the ODI specs are on sjf-lwp.novell.com (130.57.11.140)...  The
domain name should still be published, though our MIS group seems to
have dubbed it "sjf-lwp.Corp.SJF.Novell.COM", though it should be
aliased to the shortened name as well.

We just got Flex-IP up and running.  We have ~20 HP laserjets connected by
Intel Netports (20) and HP JetDirects (3--better, but only recently
available), and ~6 NW4MAC appletalk Apple Laserwriters that we have
published to our Apollo workstation network.  We have had no problems so
far.  It sure makes for better utilization of printers if all platforms can
use them.  The printing was the main reason for buying Flex-IP--the FTP
ability is just a bonus.

It would be nice if there were a HP Laserjet filter available.  Choices are
None, Lineprinter, and Postscript.  Set to Postscript for the Laserwriters,
you have control over banner pages, form feeds, etc.  Set to Lineprinter
for the HP's, you can't disable the banner page, but you get correct
printouts.  Set to None for the HPs, you can disable the banner page, but
you get no line feeds with your carriage returns.  Maybe additional playing
around will get us no banners with correct CR/LF.

When you do a COMMAND /c within a login script, the program LOGIN.EXE is
still in RAM memory.  Because of this, there is 60K less available RAM
to your application.  I assume that MFOX means it is a FoxBase program.
FoxBase requires almost 512K of free RAM to run.  That error message
means that there isn't enough RAM available.

One way around this is to use the EXIT command to run your batch file.
For example, if I wanted to run the batch file PROG.BAT, I'd put
EXIT "PROG" in the login script.

We write a lot of Clipper stuff here, and have had no problem with capturing
to Novell queues.  We have had some problems with other peoples stuff though, I
think because it was written using third party libraries.

The way round it is to find one of the many capture-printing-to-a-file
TSRs around, and convince it to capture LPT1 to LPT2.  Then use Novell to
capture LPT2 to a queue.

Hope this helps,

I have a program I wrote in Pascal or Modula (can't recall offhand
which) that will do this.  If you think you're having path conflicts
finding a command, WHICH MAP.* would search through your path and list
all occurances of MAP commands.  It isn't Novell specific so it should
work anywhere.  This would, of course, find anything else you wanted to
find, and it has a VERBOSE flag that provides date/time/size info as
well, for the times when you've got version conflicts.

I'll make this available to anyone who wants it, *but* you have to give
me newbie directions for getting it to you.  We're on the Internet now,
and my file transfer experience is limited to FTP GET.

The claim is that you can run a program called odipkt.com and then
any clarkson compatable program will run over ODI.
I have personally not be sucessfull in making this work, but other
have.  Having said this there are a number of POP mail readers
available for the pc.

In response to:


We have decided to use ODI and LWP4DOS as our prefered method of TCP/IP
access to our Unix Boxes.  I now have a requirement for e-mail to reach our
PCs in a similiar way to our Mac users do - Eudora over MacTCP to popper
running on Unix.  Are there any products which will do the job using TCP
over ODI (not using the packet driver shim as this clashes with TCPIP).


Thanks in advance

    To Whom just asked, (I deleted the message before getting the ID..)
    The requestor/utilities for version 2.0 of OS/2 can be FTP'd from
    ftp.ucs.ubc.ca in the novell directory files: OS2NWREQ.EXE,
    OS2NWUT1.EXE and OS2NWUT2.EXE. These are self extracting disk
    images provided by IBM I believe. - Dan
