Why not save the three or four configurations in three or four
subdirectories and use an environment variable to point to them?  What we
do is something like this (I'm winging this...but you get the point):

in the system login script you have a big IF statement that generates a
station number from your ethernet card number (which is P_STATION):

if "%P_STATION"="0325C3EFDA" then dos set station="01"
...lots more if statements here

Then you do

map j:=myserver/sys:wininits
#copy j:%station%\*.* c:\windows3.1

You document all this in a big spreadsheet, and if you're really cool,
you write a spreadsheet macro to generate the "if" statements from the
spreadsheet, and just use Novell's "include" command to bring the file so
generated into your login file.  It's not pretty, but it beats writing code
that will be obsolete when Windows goes into a new version.

Don't flame me...I didn't make this up, but I copied it.

There are many Protocol analyzer's out there which would do the job

Considering that the specified limit for a thin segement is 185 meters,
I doubt that any of us want to. We've got a total of about 4,000 feet of
thin coax bridged via NetWare servers and dedicated bridges (PCBridge),
and I've strained mightily to keep each segement under the limit. Oddly
enough, my network is quite reliable. How's yours?

(Oh, BTW; I've heard of a thin LAN that had over 1.2KM of cable, but for
*some* reason, performance wasn't real good....)

Rubbish.  50 user NetWare is quite common.

Yep, for sure.  Use 3Com cards, too, where possible - their degredation on network signals is very small and therefore (from my experience), we've been able to push the IEEE limitation of cabling lengths, number of workstations, etc. far beyond what is normally considered 'sane'. :-)

directly to it.  I want the workstation to be able to handle IP tunneled
packets.  Is this possible?  I know the file servers can do it but what about
workstations?  The documentation is kind of vague on the matter so I really
don't know.  If this is possible could someone post how you would set up
a NET.CFG (I'm assuming you would have to use ODI drivers) for such a
configuration.

Hi,

The FINDER does have a bug in it.  It cannot properly address volumes over 2Gigs.  You should have the same trouble with both 6.x and 7.x OS since this
GET_VOL_PARAM problem has been around since 6.x.  My guess is there is something
else going on here.  But the bottom line is you should not use volumes larger
than 2 Gig. if Macintoshes are to mount and write to that volume.  I personally
wouldn't use sizes greater than 1.3 Gig. as I have seen troubles on (AFP) vol-
umes of that size too.

Apple has said they would fix this problem.

802.2 uses the SSAP and DSAP appropriate for whichever protocol(s) are
bound to it!  At this level, all the software is doing is demultiplexing
to the appropriate higher-level protocol stack.  If an 802.3 frame is
not using the "global DSAP" (strictly, if the frame does not have X'FF'
where the SAPs should be, since Novell do not think of it as a global
DSAP at all) it is an 802.2 frame; if it does not have the SNAP LSAPs,
it's a non-SNAP 802.2 frame.  Simple.

If you're wondering what LSAP IPX uses when bound to 802.2, it uses X'E0'.
The 1-byte LSAPs are _much_ harder to get than the 2-byte EtherTypes as
used in Ethernet II and SNAP; this is why some protocols (e.g. AppleTalk)
require SNAP when using 802.2.  The fact that IPX has its own LSAP is
jolly impressive (assuming it's IEEE-assigned).

And all token ring frames are 802.2; you can choose whether to use SNAP
or not, making two types of frame.

Talking of frames, does anyone know if Ciscos can now do IPX routing on
802.2 frames?  The manual I sneaked a look at only mentioned the older
two types, but I suppose there might be new software...

	I need help using Novell Netware 3.11 with Windows 3.1.  I am the

not use Windows at all.  I would like to set things up as follows:
	Students need to be able to login and logout within Windows.  Being
able to use the built in screen savers would be very nice.  However, I have never been able
to get the drive mappings/search paths to work properly.  When users start
an application, they need to work in their own home directory, not the
directory where the software is located.  Also, when users logout, the
paths need to be reset somehow.
	We use a lot of non-Windows math applications which make everything
tricky.  If anyone can give me some information or tell me where to find
it, I would be most appreciative.
