Actually, it can switch from PCL to PostScript and back, but I don't think
it will work the other way around; to autoswitch, the default language on
the printer needs to be PCL.  I have one setup running with the Ethernet
interface (not EtherTalk), and it switches fine.  It's a great printer.  My
only problem is how to let Macs print to it!  (Unless I'm missing something,
or there's a clever workaround, my only complaint so far about NW for Mac is
that you can't make a non-AppleTalk PostScript printer appear on the Mac
side as an AppleShare queue, with the server proxying.

These will all work fine once you make PCL the default language.  Failing
that, you will have printer files with the IIIsi software which allows you
to create a Novell PrintDef/PrintCon data file, so you could set up your
CAPTURE commands to preface every PC job with a PostScript header that
switches to PCL.  This would also solve the problem, but require much more
work.  Easier to switch the default language to PCL and turn autoswitching
on.

Has anyone connected Pegasus Email (written by David Harris) to Internet?

I am trying to do so, first by a standalone machine then I will attempt
to by our network.  I am using the UUPC program on my PC at home and this
is working great (I'm using it right now!).  What I want to do is to have
a better front end(user interface) for reading mail - mainly Pegasus Email.

I know you need to make a FILTER program - there's an example of one that
interfaces to Waffle that comes with v2.32 of Pmail.  Can anyone help?

Date: 9 Oct 92 19:22:24 GMT
Organization: OUC, University of Notre Dame

I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to sent this to, but ....

My company is using Btrieve as our database engine.  We load btrieve
using the following command line:

btrieve /E /P:2048 /M:32 /F:70 /T:btrieve.trn /U:4

The problem is that this takes up about 90K of memory.  This memory is 
becoming very precious since our application is now over 1 Meg in size,
heavily overlayed.  

  1)  Does Novell plan to ever release a version of btrieve (for DOS) 
      that can either be loaded 'high' or that uses more expanded/extended
      memory for the program?

  2)  Will there ever be a linkable 'object' version of btrieve that I can
      link into our program??  I believe that Borlands VROOMM technology
      would manage the memory better.

Question on IPTUNNEL:  In order to get two servers to communicate, you have to 
specify the tunnel on both ends with the IP addresses (giving a good feeling 
on security).  But once you set up an IPTUNNEL, can a LAN WORKPLACE for DOS 
system connect to the IPTUNNEL without anything having to specified on the 
server (which is not good security wise)?

Hello all!

I've just spent three (3) days attempting to install the Novell
Netware Access Server (v1.22 - just received it) with no success.

I have the following in the system:

1) a 'generic' (from Bill & Ted's Bogus Computer shop) 80386 system
   with 8MB RAM in 1MB simms
2) A Western Digital (now SMC) 16 bit ethernet card
3) An Adaptec 1522 Floppy/SCSI disk adapter
4) An 8 bit VGA display

I know that the Western Digital Adapter is not the best choice 
for this application, but its what I have available.  I've played
'peek-a-boo' with the ethernet RAM to no avail.  The main symptom
is that the system locks up >HARD< sometime (varies) durring the
initialization process.

Any suggestions?

Sorry Monika,
thats not always correct!

If you use the Adaptec 1540/1542 SCSI ISA controller, you can use more than 
16MB, though you have 24-bit DMA. You have to have the Version 3.0 of the 
Adaptec drivers. Works with Netware 3.11 I know (we've tested it), Netware

Greetings:

We are running Novell 3.11, and have had one persistent problem that
we can't seem to get rid of.

The problems occurs on our machines running RPrinter.  When a user of one
of these machines loads Windows, RPrinter occasionally looses connection
with the server.  This is detected on the PServer screen, which reports
that the printer is 'not connected'.

We are running Windows 3.1, and (I believe...) the newest version of 
RPrinter, PConsole, and PServer  (ftp'd from ftp.novell.com a few weeks
ago).

Has anyone else experienced/solved this problem?

Please reply to me directly - this group could do without the traffic...

Thanks in advance,

This is correct.  An IP tunnel makes your IPX network available to
unauthorized access in much the same way FTP allows such access to
your file system.  As with FTP, it is important to protect yourself
either through good password management or by using security filters
on your routers.

>Basically I would like to disable the IPTUNNEL from accepting an connections 
>but the specified Peers.  Is that possible?

Not with the current software sold by Novell.  How much are you
willing to pay for such a facility?  If it's important enough to IP
tunnel users everywhere, i'm sure Novell could be convinced to boast
the priority of such facilities.  At the moment, as Keith mentions,
Novell does not consider the IP tunnel a security device.  In fact, we
don't encourage the use of the tunnel over public IP networks at all.
If there's sufficient demand for an IP tunnel that does function as a
security portal, Novell might be convinced to develop such a product.

I've just had a conversation with someone at Novell about this very
thing, and the message I got is that they are not releasing the
algorithm for encrypting passwords.  In order to use encrypted password
calls, you can link in a C library provided by Novell (if you bought the
C interface, or can get ALOGIN.ZIP from the NOVDEV forum of COMPUSERVE.)

I asked more questions about it, and the person I talked to said he
didn't know WHY they won't release it, since it's a one-way encryption
algorithm, but they simply haven't.  They also removed the source for
this from the C source they give out with the C interface.  Too bad.

From what I know of it, it works something like this, tho:  you request
an encryption key from the file server, and it returns you some kind of
key (supposedly a unique key).  You follow the encryption algorithm on
the password with the given key, and use the encrypted password with
your call.  The file server will then decrypt the password, and figure
out if it's the right one.

Since I don't remember where I got the idea that this is the way this
really happens, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.  Also, if anyone
knows what the algorithm is, I would love to know it -- otherwise I'll
be linking in Microsoft C to TopSpeed Modula-2 in order to make some of
my programs work...

I setup Novell Access Server about a year ago, It is  up to date with
all the fixes and patches that novell has.  
I have the system Hang a couple of times a month,  the performance
is  kind of slow, and not enough conv. memory for users to do much. I 
have it running on a 386-33 with 8MB  and DOS 5.0 with 4 UNHAPPY users.

The software is just a modified version of PCAnywhere and Qemm/Desqview.
When a user dials in they get there own dos session on the network. 

Novell has a good idea with Novell Access Server BUT it is IMHO somewhat
unstable at this time.
