We are using Reflection 7 here with interrupt 14.  From there we have TRW
Multi-port ICU 2000's on the ICA cards that get us to our hosts or the modem
pool.
It works.  I would rather use PC Plus, if we didn't have a $25,000 site
license for Reflection.

This message is for all Banyan-L list members planning to attend the Chicago
ABUI:


There will be a Banyan User Discussion (BUD) session held Tues, April 14 from
6-7PM @ Chicago ABUI to explore the issues related to supporting CD-ROM
devices on a VINES network.  This session is targetted for VINES
administrators and users who are using or are planning on using CD-ROM devices
on their network.

This is a session to obtain customer input on the type of support required.
Representatives from Trellis, Meridian Data, CBIS and Banyan will be present
to take (but not immediately respond) to these requirements.  There will be no
formal 'presentations' by the vendors.  This is the attendees' opportunity to
help design future products.

The outline for the hour is the following:

	*  6:00 - 6:15	Vendor/Banyan introduction for the BUD
	*  6:15 - 7:00	Open discuess from customers

This session will take place in the same room as all other BUDs scheduled for
this time.

Subject: Re: Environment Variables
Organization: Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1992 13:07:32 GMT

Best I can tell (and I hope to be corrected) very little 
banyan information is available to the environment.  
 
We use three methods to get such information into the environment. 
 
1) In the user profile, set environment variables with the correct
   info. For example: 
    
       setdrive s: fssoftware@files@org
       set ban_s=s:
       
2) Write a program that queries vines for the information and
   set the environment. The Vines Name program on cuus does
   this. (We did not write this, just siting it as a weel known
   example). 

3) The public domain utility 'stringz' will allow you to set
   environment info from information on stdin. If there is a
   vines utility to provide the information that writes to stdout
   then you are in luck. We wrote a short program called cut, which
   will read stdin, cut out the required info and write it to stout. 
    
	vines_program|cut line# start_col end_col|stringz env=ask 

	What happens, the vines program gets the info and writes to 
	stdout, cut selects the line with the info and forward the 
	correct columns to stdout, stringz where env is assigned 
	the result of an ask(read stdin). 
	
Where possible we us method 1, but what if the information is  
transient. Then we either use 3(if the operation will not be done
often, or 2 if the process require efficiency. 
 
A note on method 3. It requires DOS pipes and as such must be
able to write a temporary file on the current disk. Sometimes a
problem. We tried to fix this by using redirection to write the
info to a temp file on a drive we knew was writeable, but how to 
keep two users from trashing each other's info??  
 
Strings will: 
	read from stdin                
	do string operations (upper, lower, left, right, mid, etc)
	do file operation(read, write, size, etc)
	do math (add, sub, mul, div)

We have the source to strings and have added:
	read a single char(no cr)
	extended string operations( lefts - left of a substring, rights,
	etc)
	extended math( max, min)
	check environment space remaining
	 
	Get the WD8003x NIC address. 

In the long run a banyan version of strings is what you want. If people
can provide assembly routines to get interesting vines information, I
will add it to strings and make it available.

I have been running Compaq Systempro's for almost two years without any
problems (other than trying to locate available address space for ICA boards).

We typically use the following configuration:

Systempro 840 (840 MB drive array)
Dual 486/33 processor's
16MB RAM
1.0 GB Megadrive Mercury SCSI disk drive (disk 2)
Interlan ES3210 bus mastered ethernet adapter
Adaptec 1740 bus mastered SCSI adapter
Exabyte EXB-8200 2.2 GB tape drive
VGA mono monitor
Vines SMP

These machines are real work-horses.  We have one that currently supports 277
users without any problem.  Compaqs are pricey, but the level of technology
integration and support (provided by agreements between Compaq and Banyan) is
exceptional.

Yes, Greg, there are a few of us up here.  It's a lot of fun.  Wish you

It's hard to participate, the phone lines have been so-so getting out of

The modems are Hayes SmartModems 1200 and 2400.

In the manage communications I can only specify line number and line speed.
There isn't any place to specify that it can do line speeds lower ....

We have some laptops which we'd like to add to our network.  We have
SynOptics Lattisnet (pre-10baseT) wiring so we'll probably have to use a
AUI/lattisnet transceiver but it should work.

Hello folks...

We will shortly be buying a new server. Our current server is a Compaq
Systempro 386/33 (single processor), and is overloaded in terms of both
users and services. We'd like to get a second server to move some users
to, add additional users, and move some services to in order to reduce
the load on our current server.

My questions:

1) Our Banyan VAR has recommended we select one of the following:
Systempro 486/33, DeskPro 486/50L, DeskPro 486/33L, or DeskPro 486/50M.
Is any one of these to be preferred over the others, and if so, why? Our
VAR has implied that the Systempro is less reliable than the Deskpro.
Can anyone comment on this?

2) I'd also like to take advantage of this opportunity to get a larger
tape drive unit (we are currently using the Banyan 320/525). What are
the preferred tape drive units? We had problems the last time we
upgraded with an apparent requirement that SCSI tape drives needed a
special Banyan PROM. is this still an issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Be more concerned about minimum hardware.  Oracle on Vines is a real resource

The HP IIIsi is a switchable printer.  It takes a special command sequence to
switch it, which can occur in three ways:

1.  You use the menu at the console of the printer
2.  You send it the correct string as part of your print job
3.  You buy a smart interface card which recognizes the language type it's
receiving.

The HP parallel and serial interface are not autoswitching.  There are several
companies out there working on systems to handle the autosense and switch,
though.  The command sequence for the switching is shown on page C-15 of the
_Laserjet_IIIsi_Printer_User's_Reference_Manual_.

Mike, that was unfair and malicious.  Bruce has been an active member of this
list since last year.  He's given accurate information and critical insights
into issues at hand.  And while I haven't been completely happy with Network
Computing's editorial content, Bruce and David Strom have listen to my
criticism (and published it, see the Dec '91 letters to the editor).  If you
feel that strongly, send them a letter (you can do so by e-mail).  In the
mean time please direct these comments directly to Bruce and spare the list.

Subject:      Cabletron + NDIS Drivers

I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem we're having with
Cabletron 10baseT cards using the Cabletron driver and the NDIS ethernet
driver from Banyan.  The Cabletron packet driver loads successfully as does
the NDIS driver and overlay version 1.01.  When "ban" is invoked no login
screen is found - instead we get "Not ready reading drive Z  Abort, Retry,
Fail...".  If you change the drive to Z: and try to obtain a directory you get
the same result.  The version of VINES that we have at present is 4.00 (2).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry to hear about the phon lines.  I'm sure the rest of the conference will
make up for the quality.

For Larry Gauthier:

Too bad about that demo.  If it was to be anything like the comparison of
ethernet vs. Token Ring you gave last year, the attendees sure missed out.
Got your Michnet Pub.  Looks great (less filing :-o).
