I've been installing/managing Netware 3.11 for multiple servers for over a

ships with TCPIP.NLM.  I've heard from conversations on the net that it's
possibble for a 3.11 server to route IP packets.  My question is: How?  There
appears to be no doc's on this NLM (at least none that I can find in any of
the manuals that shipped).  Is there some special manual out there somewhere
that tells me how to do this IP routing thing?  What the NLM is supposed to
do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

            - Windows 3.0

First of all, ODI *has* succeeded.  Make no mistake about that.  From
looking at the ODI certification list, i doubt you could buy more than
a handful of cards nowadays that don't include both DOS and NetWare
3.x ODI drivers.  (At the same time, i don't agree with your
implicatation that NDIS is in misery. :-)

You may be somewhat out of date about the exhorbitant charge for ODI
development kits.  While there is an extremely pricey ODI development
kit ($7,500, last i heard), it includes various test utilities and
support that make it reasonably priced for the target market: NIC
manufacturers.  On the other hand, for people who are interested in
ODI development but aren't going to get rich off of it, there is a
document only package that sells for something like $100.  Still a lot
of money and definitely not public domain, but certainly within reason
for someone preparing to do something as serious as MLID development.
(Don't quote me, but i've heard of hardship cases where ODI
development manuals have been sent to deserving but impoverished
developers gratis.)

Having cleared that up, i might mention that the ODI documentation is
geared mainly for driver developers.  I can tell you from personal
experience that aplication development is not always a snap when
dealing with documentation intended for a driver developer.  This is
true of both ODI documentation as well as the Packet Driver
documentation, although recently i've seen that groups working on both
specs are trying to improve application development support.

Okay, it appears the only solution is to purchase some product that will
do the trick.  I was really interested in some way to put an internal modem
inside a dedicated 286, and using software such as Fresh's Modem Assist, 
make that modem available for anyone, Mac or PC, to attach to. 

From the responses I've seen, it looks like I'll have to wait till some

Both of the above will work plus that you can use the traditional

There is a public domain package called Log&Copy which keeps track of
when programs are executed.  WPOffice will also keep this information
in a flat-file database file (Notebook).  The only problem I had with 
log&Copy was that it would track a user starting up WPOffice Shell.exe
but then not track any programs executed from the shell.  The same may
be true if you are using Windows or DosShell, etc.

I'm curious, what problems come up with teenagers that don't with
any other LAN?

I have a question about connecting serial ports between PC's.  At a 
place I work at part-time, we have 5 PC's in different rooms on 
different floor.  We won't be able to afford ANY networking 
options for about 1 year and I need to transfer one hugh file (3MB)

I have FASTLYNX to transfer files between computers very quickly
via serial lines.  I would like to temporarily run a few wires 
through small holes already in the walls between the serial ports.  
Unfortunately, I know very little about networking wire.  I am 
looking for some about the diameter of typical phone-cord wire that 
plugs into an adapter that, in turn, plugs into a serial port.  (I'll 
take care of pin configurations to be FASTLYNX compatible.)

Does anyone know of inexpensive wire that I can use for the purpose 
described above.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is this ELS Level I or II (4 or 8 Users?)  From what I remember 2.15 systems
could support ESDI drives directly and you should be able to use any SCSI disk
driver (as long as it is ELS Level II if memory serves me well) or you could
upgrade to 2.2.

I'm not sure exactly how remote printing works; however, one possible
solution to your problem would be to leave the GUEST account on the
servers, but (by using the STATION RESTRICTIONS option in SYSCON) limit
the log-on network address of the GUEST account to the address(es) of the
other servers.  This would prevent users from logging on as GUEST, but
should allow the servers to connect to each other for printing.

Novell does not work in the above mentioned way, but does so in a much
cleaner fashion (could be better, but can't it always?)::

Usually, when you add TCP/IP to your system, you will load multiple
protocols through the ODI interface. Packet drivers (clarkson,
primarily) are also loaded before the protocols, so that the protocols
can properly talk with the hardware.  With each protocol working
correctly, you can connect up to your local server using IPX, and you
can go through any TCP/IP route (router, repeater, bridge) to any other
TCP/IP machine.  You *CAN* bind multiple protocols to the network cards
installed in the server, so it, too, can talk TCP/IP.  This will allow
unix boxes to connect up with any TCP/IP nlm's that are loaded, and the
server can also act as a router for IPX, TCP/IP and other types of
packets.

In short:
hardware <--> hardware interface (firmware:packet driver) <--> protocols 
for workstations, and:
hardware <--> "load ne2000..." <--> "bind <protocol name> to..."
for the server.
This will allow both workstations to talk to external TCP/IP devices
and servers to route and talk TCP/IP as well as IPX, simultaneously.
Clear?
