STDA hasn't been dying on us, but the exclusion list is empty now and I
can't enter anything that will stay.  The only thing I can think of is to
recreate the STDA service.  Has anyone else run into this?  I'd rather not
re-do things unless absolutely necessary.  On, yeah, we're using VINES
5.0(6).

Does anyone know why Banyan won't let you use superuser/root to
get at the operating system on a server? Any other operating
system I've managed, or can even think of, as a system manager I
can get at everything.
Something else I just thought of. There must be many ex-Banyan
employees who know this information, who would potentially have
system god access to your and my servers..Hmm.

If you are going to need Token ring attached mainframe access (3270 TE) then I
believe it has to be an IBM card.  Otherwise the Madge cards get high ratings.

Hello everyone.

Quick question: I need to connect one of our servers to a 16mb token ring
network. Any server card recommendations? (ISA server, 4.11(5))

Mail me directly so you don't flood the list.

Thanks.

I have a question which I hope someone out there can help me with.
I have a CNS with both a Token-ring network on it as well as an
ethernet connection to connect with other servers.

I have a PC with a 3C503 connected on the ethernet side, and I want
to have VINES and TCP/IP access at the same time.

Essentially, I run the 3c503ban, redirall, and then the ebanyan
programs.  However, this consumes a lot of memory.  I was told that
not all 3 programs had to be run, but I do not have any documentation
about it.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

The following is a simplistic example of my AUTOEXEC.BAT
(the ipcust.sys and ifcust.sys drivers are properly installed in
 CONFIG.SYS).

ban /nc
3c503ban
redirall
ebanyan -t 16 -p 8 -u 2

The 3c503ban takes up 75k, redirall takes up 58k, and the
ebanyan takes up 76k.

Thanks,

Subject:      re: New info on the 3Com 3c509

Patrick,

I can only respond on ISA/No FTP's PC/TCP configuration but found that NDIS
and Packet driver configuration are allmost the same speed. I tried a copy of
the Z: drive to NUL (repeatedly) and found that 4.692.561 bytes where
transfered in 6.20 seconds in both cases. As discussed before on this list
this is allmost 70% of the theoretical ethernet speed wich I think is very
respectable. Configuration used is Systempro LT with NE3200 server and 486/33
client with 3c509. By the way there is PRE Alpha 11.x release of the 3c509
packet driver (see posting earlier this week). You might contact Russ Nelson
about the specific EISA problems you have.

Josef,

To answer your question, the last IDC figures I saw (November 30, 1992)
indicated Banyan had about 12% of the NOS market.  This put them in the number
two position behind Novell, but well ahead of LAN Manager (5%) and all others
(8-10% as a group).

My guess is, Banyan probably doesn't *want* you to get down to the UNIX root

those areas.  Can anyone confirm that?

All you do is put the backup tape in a VINES 5.xx server and this will allow
you to read the files on the tape, although I would recommend that you read
the files in a group on a tape as it is quicker (with DAT).

Yes, we have the same problem. I have seen the same when printing. The 
problem seems to be the message that something has been spooled. The "music" 
that you normally hear is strange. Like one long (very very long) note and 
then a very short one. Maybe something to do with foreground/background time 
the application gets from Windows?

I like Vines a lot and that dovetails with my like of good computer science but
the interests of good computer science can be greater than the interests of

  Compuserver uses account numbers as the E-Mail addresses of the form;

      Fred Bloggs has account  71457,5284

  this translates as; (note the comma to point conversion)

      71457.5284@compuserve.com

  and should be sent from a PC or Mac as;

      smtp@mail@jet[71457.5284@compuserve.com]

With MultiProtocol disabled CSIBAN registers 1 packet type, 0x0bad (VinesIP),
with the packet driver.  With it enabled it registers the special ALLTYPE

accept an ALLTYPE registration, so you need to provide it with a list of
packet types to feed to that ALLTYPE registration in this case IP, ARP, RARP,
and VinesIP.

Also for recipe type solutions that I give to users I tend to recomend using
the higher numbers ints. so as to avoid conflicts with existing software.

 3c509 0x7C        <-- For simplicity I try to stay away from the low numbers.

Also unless you are going to run windows there is little point in cranking up
more than 2 pktdrv's.

Funny how they encourage new Vines users to join the Banyan forum on
CompuServe.  Seems that the flier that comes with Vines software even says
that Banyan engineers and techs participate on the forum.

Hmmm.....

Subject:      Procom CC-16 SCSI Adapter

Has anyone been able to get this to work with a Wangtek external tape drive?
Banyan sent this adapter to us along with the tape drive.  Our vendor doesn't
seem certain as to how to get this working with the Procom adapter.  The
adapter is recognized at boot (before Vines) and acknowleges the tape unit
however, when I try to do a backup or read a tape, I am prompted to use
the floppy drive.  This is with and without an OTHER card defined.
The SCSI adapter is at ID 7 and the tape unit is ID 1.  No other SCSI adapter
exists on the machine I am testing, although when I do the real thing I will
be installing this adapter on machines that have an existing Emulex SCSI card.
Also, no where in the documentation that came with the Procom card is Banyan
referenced.  Only DOS 5.0 and Netware.  Any suggestions?
