Subject: UPS info? .NLM vs software vs PS/2mouse vs card

Running Netware3.11 on an AST 486/33.
It appears that only PS/2 mouse ports can get away with smart UPS
systems (like APC, Tripp-Lite, PermaPower) and no additional
software and/or special interface cards. I can understand the need
for the extra stuff to decode RS-232 serial lines for info (kinda)
but what's so special about the PS/2 mouse? Doesn't the UPS systems
do the equivalent of pressing a mouse button (or why not just toggle
an RS-232 input/handshaking signal line)? Anyone find a cheap way to
interface any UPS to a non-PS/2? (w/o having to spend 50% more
for that interface/software kit?)
Anyone have rough APC prices for PowerChute software?
Thanks.  rc

Howdy.
I am installing netware 3.11 on an HP Vectra 486/50 EISA machine.
It has a 420mb SCSI drive. The install manual indicates that I need
to "See vendor" to get the disk driver that I need. This is supported
by the fact that none of the supplied drivers seem to do the job.
I have called our vender, and they will be getting back to me, but I
figure that this list might get me a response more quickly.

Does anyone know what driver I need, and where to get it?
TIA

   I will vouch for the Catipult TCP/IP Gateway.  It is relatively easy
   to configure (good support anyway) and performance is excellent.  You
   do need an OS/2 machine, but it doesn to have to be dedicated to this
   Gateway function alone.  We had a 386/25 with 10 MB of memory running
   the Catipult Gateway and Microsoft SQL server.  Both did just fine.

   Catipult is a significant improvement over the older Interlan gateway,
   which had its problems.

   The best part of the Catipult solution is the virtual IP addresses.  You
   assign only 1 to the gateway and users get a free ride.  Up to 30 concurrent
   users can access a single Catipult gateway.  In addition, Catipult's TCP/IP
   utilities are not bad either.

I know there is a bootp forwarder NLM, Is there a RARP forwarder NLM and if
so any experiences/problems with it?

Another choice would be Persoft's SmartTerm (Windows & DOS).  Their drivers
work very nicely with the ODI stack, WRQ's uses an NDIS config.  I think the
Persoft bundle is also cheaper since both LAT and telnet come with the
emulator.  I don't know what the ed. discount is.

/One posibility would be to use Reflection series emulators from Walker,

/(to VAX or whatever LAT service) simultaneously with IPX.  No need for

FOUND IT!

The reason we couldn't get the WP extended characters to work was that
you must be using the WP.DRS driver resource file.  We had been doing
some testing with WPSMALL.DRS to try to save memory.  WP.DRS had been
renamed to WPBIG.DRS to do the testing.  Some rummy (me (-8) forgot
to rerename it back to it's original name.  Changed it back and, voila,
the characters work again.

My users kept saying, "It used to work!".  And I kept thinking, "Yeah, right!"
The lesson I learned was 'Listen to the users'.

Thanks to all who responded!  The suggestions got me to looking!

BTW - The .ALL and .PRS files HAD been modified to allow use of WP 5.0
soft fonts (106 of them).

Another way to get terminal access and file transfer to VAXes is to use a
NetWare-TCP/IP gateway which lets NetWare clients run TCP/IP applications
without any client installation or configuration.  All clients share one IP
address, which helps simplify administration.  The gateways I know of (we
make Catipult and NCM sells TCP Server) run on an OS/2 PC which is running
both NetWare and TCP/IP, plus gateway software.  NCM's uses an intelligent
card for the TCP stack, and Catipult is software-only.

We are in the process of developing a fairly large client server

 1. Has anyone had any experience using multi-platform development

 2.  What about single platform development tools such as SQLWINDOWS
by Gupta?

My concerns are:
    Support
    Response time across the network
    Development tool(s) functionality and ease of use
    Documentation (development and program)
    Licensing fees (runtime vs executibles)
    Price

Please mail you reply to me, and I will summarize if there are
enough.

2.x --> 3.x Upgrade...

Remember: the manual says to run BINDFIX before any upgrade. Check your
shells and versions of BINDFIX first (see technical bulletins on potential
data loss combining old versions of BINDFIX with new SHELLS), but NEVER
EVER skip this step. The only people I have ever heard of having any
trouble with a 2.x --> 3.x upgrade had forgotten to run BINDFIX before the
upgrade.

The documentation has some valuable tips of what to expect once the upgrade
is done (such as: passwords will not move over (they couldn't - they're
encrypted with a 1-way alogrithm), also some login scripts might get new
errors because in 2.x when you had no rights you could still see
directories, not true in 3.x, so a map to a directory you don't belong in
will fail).

And of course make a verified backup or two before you begin.

Subject:      HPIII and Novell 3.11

From: Phyl H.

Greetings all,

I have broken down and tried my last option and still I am suffering from
printing blues.  I have tried just about everything I can think of and
am receiving no satisfaction with getting this setup working.

Here it is...

Novell 3.11, PS/2 80 Fileserver
Pserver v1.21
HP Laserjet III running off server lpt1:
HP Laserjet II running rprinter

The HPL II works without a hangup, but the HPIII is not working as configured.
If I switch the printers, the HP Laserjet III works fine.  If I attach the
HPL III to a computer, it prints things locally fine, just when it is on the
network is it having problems.  Whenever I print a series of jobs, after
a random job in the stack it will print everything else incorrectly.  I heard
a rumor about a bad pdf for the HPLIII, but when I substituted queue's/printers
/pdf's between the II and III, nothing helped.

Are there any problems with the version of PSERVER (v1.21) that could be
doing this?

Any comments would be much appreciated.  Please e-mail ME directly, I had
to kill my subscription because I am leaving this job shortly.

X-To:         NOVELL@suvm.acs.syr.edu

I need to put my printer (parallel - dot matrix) about 35 feet from the server.
I want to avoid using the devices which convert from parallel to serial and back
 again, because this slows the data transfer rates considerably.  I know that 35
feet is beyond the spec for a parallel printer connection, but I would like to
 know
long a cable will actually work.  How about low-capacatance shielded cables?
Is there any rule of thumb that specifies a length beyond which you need to
use an amplifier?
       Thanks in advance

Arcserve does have a _feature_ called "disk grooming". If this is
turned on it will remove files that have not been accessed for a
specified time. This feature makes me a little nervous, so I don't
plan to use it. By default it is DISABLED. Look under Auto
Pilot/Target Setup Form.
