The bindery, as such, does go away in 4.0. As a transitional step (in 4.0
only, I'm led to believe) there will be a 'mechanism' to translate
bindery calls to Directory Services calls. But this will only be
temporary to give folks time to re-write their software. Of course, there
is no announcement as yet as to when 4.0 APIs will be available.

Subject:      NetWare Requester and IBM TCP/IP for OS2 1.2

I've been running OS/2 v2.0 for some time now and successfully using
IBM's TCP/IP for OS2 1.2 without ES and LS.  I just received my copy of
NetWare Requester and am trying to get it to co-exist IBM's TCP/IP.

After booting I can only use TCP/IP for a limited time until it stops
functioning from an OS2 window.  Netware use is still available and I
am still able to login into a number of Netware servers without a hitch,
even after I no longer have TCP/IP services.
A consistent TCP/IP hang that I can duplicate after a boot is to 'ping'
an IP host and after 133 successful 64 byte ping requests, it will
stop and hang. I wonder where the conflict could be and if anyone
could have an insight into this.

Here's some of my relevant files -

  I think it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  If you want
  to enable your users to share data files between that MACs and PCs or if you
  want to run a package like PMAIL (the MAC version requires SYS volume to
  support the MAC name space), then I wouldn't repartition.

Also check that the name space support has been installed. Has this

Subject:      SOLVED: SMC coexist of IP & IPX

Greetings Netters,

     I realize many of you are still having problems get IP and IPX to coexist
on the SMC Elite cards. Thanks to Joe Doupnik we found a workable solution to
the problem. Using the latest ODI driver, (SMCPLUS.COM found on the v4.2
Super Disk), and Kermit 3.12 Beta seemed to do the trick.

     The ODI driver can be found at most anonymous FTP Novell sites or even
at Compuserve (GO SMC). Kermit 3.12 Beta is available via anonymous FTP from
WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU. Get the files /kermit/bin/mstibm.exe and /kermit/test/
msr312.upd (ASCII).

     Make sure that in your mskermit.ini file, you add the line SET TCP/IP
PACKET-DRIVER-INTERRUPT ODI before your SET TCP PORT... lines. What this line
does is tell Kermit to read the card setup from the ODI driver and use it as
if it were a packet driver. The beauty of this setup is that you no longer
have to use TELAPI, a Novell commercial product costing $$$.

     Make sure you follow the instructions in the MSR312.UPD file, specifically
for the options in the NET.CFG file.

     Again many thanks to Joe Doupnik, good job Joe!

Rick-

I can see why this would cause a problem.  DOS only allows 8 characters to be
used in naming a file or directory.  Therefore, if the %LOGIN_NAME is more than
this limitation, DOS won't allow you to create a directory by that name.  It
looks like, if you really want to do this, you will need to rename the trouble
users.  Sorry.

It turns out ours is working as well.  The tech who reported it to me
looked at the message in the LCD readout (of the printer) that said
"UC Out of Paper" and somehow surmized that it wasn't working.  After
receiving all the messages this morning I went and investigated and
discovered that it does work.  Sorry to bother everyone.

Brett-  Thanks for the info, but I have already deleted the queues.  Thats

This analysis seems correct, to a point.   The only point I
take issue with here is that Appletlk can be ethernet_ii.  It doesn't
have to be ethernet_snap, and it shouldn't if you're running EtherTalk Phase 1.
Ethernet_snap is for Phase 2.

You have to purchase it from Novell. (Although I have heard of IBM giving it
away, here in NZ they haven't, heard of it that is).

And while we are on the subject, its also got bugs in it. At random times if I
log onto a netware server from a private DOS session, the machine will trap
with trap 000e (Nothing to say which devive driver caused it, but its the same
every time). Also the NWREQ$ device will also trap if you aren't connected up
to a network and try to exit from Word for Windows 2.0 (It happens every time
with my setup). The beta copy of the requester I had didn't have this many
problems. I wish now I hadn't deleted it. I resent having to pay money (NZ$150)
for a piece of software that used to be included in the server software, and
has bugs in it. If it were free still, and I could be assured of getting free
updates (Like it used to happen) then I wouldn't be so irate.

utility.  To get to the point, I would like to know if there are any
Tektronix 4105 and/or Tektronix 4014 terminal emulators available for
LWP4DOS.  We are using LWP4DOS to connect to our campus VAXen, and we
have several graduate programs that need the Tektronix emulator for
doing some graphics.  Can someome point me in the right direction
to get ahold of said emulators...FTP Site or Vendor???!?

Also, are there any applications that are available for LWP4DOS?  Again,
just point me in the right direction!


Much thanx,
