I use SNMP-capable AWK from the ISODE 8.0 distribution on a SUN platform
This give me a version of AWK capable of retreiving SNMP variables from
[almost] any SNMP capable device.

Richard,

I think you misunderstood.  If I understand correctly, Rich wants to
delete the 80 MB volume and add that NetWare partition as the second
segment of the 220MB volume while the 220MB volume is mounted.  The
80MB volume and its contents are lost as you describe (although Rich
has copied them off to another server), but the 220MB volume will
simply increase in size by 80MB while it is mounted and in use.

Subject:      Experience with Novell's 1000 User License

        I am thinking about alternatives for setting up 800 users on cc:Mail.  I
know cc:Mail may not be the best email option, but that is not a variable.  All
users are currently scattered across 15 networks.   All 15 of the networks are
Novell 3.11, 100 or 250 User. Each network contains their own mail system, some
cc:mail, some will need to be converted.
        One option I am thinking about is setting up a Super Server (Compaq
Syspro probably) with the 1000 User License.  All users would log in to their
respective servers, and then attach to the one Super Server to access their
mail.
        I have heard that the 1000 User License is "flakey", so I was wondering
if anyone has had any experience with it.  We will not need to load too many
extranious NLM's, probably just the Macintosh Support.  I was also wondering if
anyone has had more than 500 cc:mail users in one database before on a Novell
platform.  We forsee some problems there also.

Please respond to me directly, if there is enough interest, I will post a
summary of the responses on the Bulletin Board.  My address is:

Subject:      Netware C interface/print services

Hello,
     I hope that someone will be able to shed some light on this small
question.  In volume II of the Netware C Interface, chapter 15 Print
Services, Page 15-49 the function 'SetSpecificCaptureFlags' lists the last
data member in the structure as type 'BYTE' and name 'PAD02'.
     Is this a constant or what?  In the NW C-Technical overview, it states
that only the first 42 bytes of the capture flags table can be modified by
applications.  I am assuming that this structure member must account for the
rest of the bytes in the capture flags table. Do I need to define it
somewhere?  How do I use it when resetting the capture flags?
You may ask why?
     This all relates to creating one command for all users to:
1) collect the users capture information
2) writing it to a binary file
3) changing the capture for a specific application, run the application
4) read the binary file and reset the capture flags at close of application
          Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Also if you are using a program like Lanlock which takes the EXE file and adds
a loader module to the code it will not run once the program is taken off the

When shopping for a LAN backup solution, you should also plan to buy a drive
somewhat larger than you need.  LANs always grow, and the more disk space that
you provide your users, the more they will use.  My first choice for a LAN of
your size is a 4mm DAT with a 1.3Gb capacity.  Gigatrend, Mountain, Emerald are
but a few of the best available.  I have used all three and had great
confidence in their ability to backup/restore with minimal intervention.

A backup solution for any LAN is just as critical as the server itself.  Your
job may someday depend on it!  Good Luck and Happy New Year to all...

Hello Allen,
     I have just installed a package called "Cross Connect" and I am using it
for dialout access.  The package supports both dialin/dialout and can be used
on a 80286 PC or better.  It can be run in the background on a nondedicated
PC to allow access out of the network or access to the network, by taking
control of the PC on the network(obviously not background operation for
dialin).
     We use the software to pool three internal modems in a dedicated PS/2
model 80 and allow network users access to the modems from the network for
dialout purposes.  This is a fairly simple package and works with other
communications software and was easy to install.  The price is very
reasonable at $495.00 US.  I also understand that the company is in the
process of releasing a new and improved version of the software. See the
November 23, 1992 of LAN Times for a review of the product on page 102. Hope
this is of some help, facts follow.

I have several baseband networks, all with remote boot. You can use the 
pcn2l ODI driver, or, you can use the IBM Lan Support Program and gen an IPX 
for it. We use the second solution when tcpip is required since odipkt does 
not work on broadband or baseband. Memory can be saved by dynamically 
loading and unloading the ibmtoken packet driver.

Yep. Get rpl.nlm from IBM or Novell technical support.
Sample autoexec.ncf might be:
load pcn2l slot=5 frame=ibm_pcn2_802.2 name=baseband
bind ipx to baseband net=1234
load rpl
bind rpl to baseband

bootconf.sys, with extensions such as multiple images per node, is supported.

A subject dear to my heart at present! You have entered a new realm of
expense and heartbreak, I'm afraid... Most 56K leased lines use an NTU
(Network Terminal Unit) which can only produce a Synchronous serial
output; your PC, however, cannot cope with a synchronous signal, so you
need to find hardware that will do so. While there are relatively
inexpensive Synchronous cards for PCs, you have a real problem with
driver software for them. I have been unable to find a synch-asynch
converter which can work reliably much above 19K2, so that avenue
doesn't seem promising.

In the end, you'll probably find that you only have a few options:

1:  Get a pair of Ciscos or Proteon routers, one for each end of the
wire. Both brands have X.21/V35 ports which will handle speeds up to
and beyond 64K.

2:  Buy two copies of the Novell MPR (multi-protocol router) with a new
Novell product called WAN Links, and a pair of Novell Synch+ cards. You
can eliminate one of the MPRs if you are prepared to use your NetWare
3.11 server as a router.

Option 1 is more expensive than option 2, but provides more management
facilities, and routing support for a wider range of protocols. Option
2 is cheaper, and if you only want light-to-medium load IP routing, is
a perfectly adequate approach.

Hope this helps a little,

Cheers!
