I am looking for a more robust version of tracking usage on a NetWare
v3.11 server than the built-in accounting.  Does anyone know of an NLM
that will let me "bill" for LAN usage?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm.  I might buy this except that, from his description, the problem
is quite consistent.  It sounds like he's losing some requests or
replies nearly every time.  Since there's nothing that i know of that's
special about RConsole messages, this would indicate to me a seriously
high general packet loss rate that should impact normal NetWare
performance.  I was blaming the losses on the workstation because i
can't believe a server dropping packets so frequently would be usable.
Also, since the server only sees the single request packet but the
RConsole client receives a flood of responses from all the servers on
the local network, it seems more likely to me that the workstation would
get overwhelmed rather than the server.

Anyway, i guess i'm just missing something, since A) Dirk knows quite
a bit more about RConsole problems than i do, and B) the original
poster has told us that he has seen the problem with reasonably fast
NICs.  I will retire from the discussion, satisfied that i have
unscored that slow network cards can impact performance and behavior,
even if that is not a factor in what appears to be some well known
problem specific to RConsole.

I just read in the 10/12 issue of Communications Week that Novell is
planning security upgrades that use encryption.  To quote:

  "Novell plans two phases of enhancements. The first will encrypt
   network protocol information, and will be available to evaluation
   team members within the next two weeks, Novell said.

   Next, Novell will ship software that lets NetWare LAN administrators
   encrypt user data that travels over the network. These enhancements
   will be available early next year."

So maybe Novell reads this net after all!!!

Hi,

This problem is well known and documented.  Please update your NOTIFY init to
version 2.11d1.  You can get this version from NetWire under NOVLIB8.  The 
file names are NOTIFY.SIT and MACUTL.SIT.  Both files contain the newer version
of NOTIFY and will solve your performance problem on the Macintosh.  You can
also FTP these files from "SJF-LWP.NOVELL.COM" (130.57.11.140) under the direct-
ory NW311/NWMAC.  Note the extensions in this forum are *.HQX (not *.SIT as on
NetWire)...

Hope this helps...

Think Peace and PLEASE V-O-T-E-VOTE!!!

Don, 
  At first I thought it was the slowness of the pc I was using but the same
things happens on a virtually unburdened token ring network .  The station on
the ring not receiving all the responses? is an IBM Mod 80 with an IBM 4/16Mb
token ring nic.. I can understand your explanation when I encounter the problem
from an access server, but even our fastest pcs with 3Com 3c527's are having
the problem.  Now I have a sloooow PS/2 mod 55sx which I usually can get around
the problem with by pressing <ESC> a number of times but my primary concern is
the ability to Rconsole using the access server so I can continue to
telecommute.

Sorry if this topic has been brought up before...

The question:  Should we use Sun's PC/NFS or Novell's Netware?!?
I mainly would like a summary of Pros and Cons between the two.

Things that should be considered:
	1) Hardware requirements. (Note: we already have an Ethernet network
      established.)
      a.  Server cost/type 
   2) Software requirments.
      a.  Server software cost 
      b.  Client software cost
   3) Advantages vs Disadvantages between the two
      a.  Will the end-user notice any difference?!?
      b.  Which is easier to administer?!?
      c.  Print capabilities?!?
      d.  Misc. (ie other important issues)

If it's of any significance, our site consists of several hundred 
PC's (286's, 386/25, 386/33) all connected by UTP Ethernet.

Please e-mail responses as I do not read all the newsgroups that I
posted to -- I will summarize later.

Subject: Losing printjobs -3.11
From: deano@topnz.ac.nz (Dean Harding)
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 92 21:15:01   Y
Organization: The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand

We have just upgraded 8 identical servers to 3.11 and run Appletalk on all 
for the print services (mostly anyway).

Since the upgrade, one server has been having problems with printing. 

First problem. Printer "A" is connected directly to the server and uses 
PSERVER. Some of our users intermitantly loose the first page of their jobs. 
The appications used are Word 5.5, Windows 3.1 (Word 4 Win 2.0) and Quattro 
3.0. The printer is a Panasonic KX-P4455 Postscript. All our servers use a 
simple printjob which uses Apple Laserwriter as its Device and Re initialize 
as the mode. Timeout is set at 5. I've have tried various Devices and Modes 
including "None". Any clues ?

Second problem: The same server runs Appletalk and we have a Dayna 
Etherprint box connected with another Panasonic Postscript printer attached. 
ATCON recognises it. But after a print job has been completed it sits 
there not doing anything (the printer that is). The print queue shows that 
the next job is being "serviced" but the printer shows "On-Line". The 
Etherprint box's activity light stays on for almost one second and 
disappears for a few more than repeats these steps. If I reset the 
Etherprint box it usually will print the next print job but stop at that.

I have tried a cable straight from a network card to the Print box with no 
other devices (thinking it may be a cable length problem) but same result.

Error log shows "can't find printer <psisdnst:LaserWriter@*> retrying" and 
yet ATCON sees it !. 

Please email direct to me "deano@topnz.ac.nz" and I will post results if 
anyone is interested.

Many thanks

The problem you are having with BNETX is probably caused by the novell
patch ASNCRDFX.NLM dated 4/20/92 size 1508 from the 311pt7.zip.  When
this patch is loaded, novell doesn't not properly recognize the end
of file.  This problem is not related at all to the dos EOF character ctrl-z.

The solution is either to not use ASNCRDFX or get the new version from
311pt9.zip - dated 9/23/92 size 1521.  

As far as a security problem, we didn't seem to get anyone elses data
when we it the end of file, but we found the problem pretty quickly and
stopped using ASNCRDFX until the new one came out.

The easiest way is this:  Get your users off the server, down the server, go
back to DOS.  Copy the files from the SYSTEM1 disk to the C: drive.  Reload
the server, then LOAD INSTALL.  Use the System Options menu, and LOAD SYSTEM
FILES.  Next time you restart your server, it should be all set.  It's taht
easy.

We are having a problem with the novell broadcast facility on HP vectra

send to this station (with send "message" to username) that machine locks

Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

#"hplaser" is a default font list.  (We've also used "applewnt" -- Apple's
#LaserWriter II NT default font list.))

So you basically create a printer->queue mapping, but leave out the printer?
I recognize the ATPS.CFG command, but hadn't seen anything in the docs about
getting ATPS to service a queue without mapping it to an AT printer.  I'll
have to give this a try.  Could be the solution to my need to access my
PostScript Fax Server from the Macs!
