Oracle does have an NLM for their database.  We are currently using
the product on a 486 server.  The server has 32mb of memory and 1.2gb
of disk space.  You need all the memory you can get!  While this is
probably not the fastest DBMS in existance, it does work.  And the
company is working on it's previous bad reputation of lack of
support.  The product is sound.  I would also check out Sybase, and
Gupta Technology's SQLBASE.  Both of these are suppose to be good
products.
If you need any more information on ORACLE, I would be glad to send
you any info that I have on it.

Joe,

   I saw a previous mail about kermit. Is seems you prefer kermit, i use
it for async transmissions. It works well but (tell me if i am wrong)
it is not a complete tcp/ip package and if you want ping, lpr, ftp,
you will need some diferent config files. Does kermit support rarp or
bootp , a3270 emul,..?. If yes, sure i would like to use it.
    Anyway i have a problem using clarkson. If somebody knows. How can i
use the Nls support of AIX (8bit Ascii) under clarkson. We are always
loosing time to manage our "strange french letters". Obviously, the character
code in 8 bit is different under MacOs/DOS/AIX/Windows. Thanks for us...

Changing the EXE file to read only doesn't work.  I have tried that.
Someone else said to flag the file sharable.  If someone could tell me
how to do this, I'd like to try.  Remember, this is Netware-LITE.

From everything I've seen, the proper way to setup a peer-to-peer network
is to get rid of Netware-Lite 1.1 and switch to Lantastic.

I really like Netware 2.x and 3.x, but can't recommend Lite 1.1.  Maybe
when Novell updates it to version 2.x it will be OK.

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) collecting 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!

Subject:      Remote Boot Problems

The situtation:

     Novell SFT ver 2.15, 20 stations with IBM 4 Mb Token-Ring on STP,
     8 stations with Olicom 16/4 Mb (at 4 Mb) on STP.  All stations and
     the fileserver (PS/2 Model 80 with 1 IBM 4 Mb Token-Ring) are on
     the same physical ring.  All stations are equipped with Remote
     Boot ROMs (from the appropriated manufacturer.  All boot files in
     the LOGIN directory have been built including the BootConf.Sys
     file.

The problem:

     After several weeks of operation the stations with the IBM Token
     Ring cards have ceased to boot via the ROMs.  They will still
     function quite normally after booting from the original disk
     used to create the .SYS file from DOSGEN.  There are seperate
     .SYS files for the IBM and Olicom cards.  The Olicom equipped
     stations continue to boot from the ROM chips so I know the
     BootConf.Sys file is not trashed.  No system changes had been
     made for some weeks (since adding the Olicom cards about two
     months ago).  I have tried DOSGEN several times and even tried
     DOSGEN from a 3.11 sever just for grins.  The #$&!!??!$$ things
     literally just quit working!  Any suggestions, etc???  HELP!!!

Subject:      NetWare 2.15 woes...

    Hi!

    A little background information...

    We are currently running Novell NetWare 2.15 Rev C on an IBM PC AT over
token ring.  We would like to replace the IBM PC AT with a 486 based system,
either ISA or EISA bus.  Someday soon, we would like to upgrade to NetWare
2.2/3.11.

    The problem is that I called Novell and no hardware vendors are saying that
their newer hardware is NetWare 2.15 certified/ready, only 2.2 and 3.11.

    How much of a problem is this?  I really don't want to spend $?k to find out
that hardware doesn't work.  And again, yes, we will get off of 2.15 to
something else, but not right now.  We just don't have enough money...

Here is another excellent alternative - a shareware PCAnywhere type program
without a licence for every client you give out:

One of our staff members here at the College has developed a program called
TeleReplica (TR) which is available as shareware (it has been posted in the
ibm binaries group). This program allows you to dial into a PC and do a remote
login to the network - in fact I am answering this from home via TR to my
desk PC which is logged into a hp9000. As the network manager for our Schools
Novell LAN I am able to carry out all admin functions from home when and how
I like.

Some of the features of TR are:
    - small overhead 8K on host machine (eat your heart out commercial
      products!)
    - file transfer using a fast z-modem like protocol
    - can be set up to reboot host on loss of carrier (great for the user
      who tends to hang the system. Simple drop the phone line and come
      back in)
    - very wide range of configuration options
    - screen updates/transfers optimised (much faster than many other packages)
    - sensible licensing arrangement at very moderate cost

Our LAN back ups to tape are done remotely via TR to a machine which has a tape
unit installed. Start it going from home at night, switch away with Windows
and go on with what I want to do with an occasional check up. Staff members
use TR for logging in via a remote machine to read mail, run programs such
as WordPerfect and FoxBASE, connect to the hp3000 or 9000 ..... whatever you
need. TR however, does not allow remote access of graphics screens.

Further details and/or TR are available by contacting either myself or TR's

 ***** NOTES from Dave Kearns (DKEARNS @ TCC) at 11/21/92 11:05p

MAP is an internal LOGIN.EXE command, and the hash (#) is _never_ needed.
