For some reasons I will try to run Linux on Diskless
PCs which are normally connected to a Novell-Network.
The point is, they have no disk. At Novell we use
the (RPL) a remote Program loader to load and start MS-DOS
on this machines. 
I would like to know if this could be possible with the
Linux-Image too.
Does anyone got expieriences with this stuff  ?

I'm trying to do something similar.  I've 3.11, with a router to our
campus backbone.  With OS/2 TCP/IP and its 3c503 NDIS driver, I can talk
to the backbone (as I'm doing now).  And with Novell Requestor for OS/2
2.0, I can access the Netware 3.11 server in my office.  But so far,
I've not been able to do both  at the same time.

The Requester docs hint that it's possible using ODINSUP.SYS.  ODINSUP
is supposed to sit on top of the LSL, passing packets through 
to either Requester (IPX packets) or to the TCP/IP software (IP
packets).  My current setup allows TCP/IP to start along with Requester
and actually allows a few IP packets through (e.g. I can start a telnet
session and actually contact other machine and get logged in) before all
IP stuff goes to hell, dead in the water.  Netware IPX packets still
seem to survive.

For now, I edit my config.sys to do one or the other.  Hoping someone
knows something out there, I've posted this rather than mail it.

We're running Advanced Netware 286 2.15 and want to update Windows 3.1

        The configuration is    Intel 386-33
                                Dos 5.0

	This will not work.  In order for IP to run on LocalTalk, you need
	a MacIP gateway.  If you have a Fastpath around somewhere on your
	AppleTalk internet, you can set it up to perform the encapsulation
	service needed.  Then you'll need to set up TCPort to look for it.

okay guys, we are making progress here.  I have NW4MAC 3.011 up and running
and it is printing okay from the Macs to an ethernet attached HP LJIIIsi.

One last question.  Where can I get a System 7 extension/printer driver that controls
the IIIsi?  I would like to be able to select bins, envelope feeder, etc.

I have tried the printer extension that comes with the optional Appletalk board for 
another IIIsi that I have.  Unfortunately it does not work.  I have even tried 
the extension for the QMS 1700 series w/o luck.

Any suggestions?

On occasion I need to measure the performance of Netware Disk sub-systems.
Picture this: One server with two disk sub-systems.  One is brand X (or
type X or Model X, or whatever), the other brand Y.  I have a file that I
know will be in great demand and I want to make sure that it is served
as fast as possible.  Which disk do I put it on?

This scenario is difficult to evaluate with PERFORM or other client-side
measuring tools due to the statistical nature of the network.  I WANT
(gimme gimme) a disk performance-measuring NLM!!!

Guess what?  Novell has written one.  Check out the ads from some of 
the disk sub-system vendors (like MicroNet's ad on page 27 of the Jan 93
issue of NetWare Solutions).  Novell claims that such a tool would be of 
no use to systems integrators and network administrators such as myself,
sooooo, they won't release a copy to the net.

However, I understand that at one point this NLM was available on the net.
I was also told by Novell that if I could find it, I could use it.  

Does anybody have a copy I could ftp or get via mail?  Howabout a similar 
product?

It has been a while, but I thinkg this is a well-known bug.  If you are
running DBase IV from a drive (real or mapped) other than the one it is
installed on you have to tell it where the dbnetctl.300 directory is.

Try the command DBASE #df=x where 'x' is the drive the dbnetctl
directory is located.

Unless it has changed, I was told to use DOS 3.31 when setting up the
the disk before installing Netware. 5.0 apparently use a different
disk structure & has caused problems with network drives. My first
experience with this involved my netware partition disappearing after

Well, so far so good with Pegasus.  We have most of our company running
with it, and no problems in the two months since it was installed.
Charon has also been great, though I've run into hardware problems with
the junky PC running it.

We're entering a new phase of deployment next week:  adding Macintosh
computers to the network.  On a strong recommendation, I've decided to
use Pegasus for them as well (that'll keep things real simple, too).
The Mac version is on omnigate.clarkson.edu, though that copy is much
older than the DOS version we've been using.

You need the Mac NLM from Novell in order to integrate Macs into the
network.  The quality of software I've gotten from Novell over the years
has gradually won me over to grudging respect for their engineering
staff (if not their marketing department), so the decision to buy the
Mac NLM was a no-brainer.

It is suggested that all ftp sites pull their copies

It is possible to configure pmail to notify users of any new mail. I'm using 
it. Whenever I get mail I hear a beep, then in windows the Broadcast Message 
dialog box appears to inform. There is new mail for user:GEIR. (only on the

at the bottom of the screen.

No extra software needed.
