	As a strange coincidence, yes there is: MS-DOS Kermit itself. There
are two options in your situation. One is to run over the LWP stack, via
command SET PORT TELAPI IP-number, or use the macro below with their TSU to
employ IP names:
	def telapi run tsu -o \%1 k1,run tsu -a k1 1,set port bios1,connect

	then say TELAPI IPname
	Connect

The second option is to use Kermit's internal TCP/IP stack over either ODI
or Packet Driver. The ODI support is new in v3.12 which can be seen via
anonymous ftp to watsun.cc.columbia.edu, cd kermit/bin for msvibm.exe, and
cd kermit/a for ms* documentation, help, etc text files. Using Kermit's own
stack will provide higher throughput, but there will then be no auxillary
helpers such as ftp, ping, etc. If the LWP stack is used then these helpers
are available as part of LWP.

MultiProtocol Router v2.0 that was announced about a month ago will support
the X.25 and PPP specification over Synchronous communications. It
is recommended to be used as a standalone or external router but 
technically can be installed on a Netware 3.11 server. 
At this point the Novell Synchronous+ card is the only card supported
for the WAN point but the specification for the interface has been released
to developers to add to the list of cards. It may be even that there
are more cards ready at this point.

The Router will route IP,IPX,Appletlk and OSI between local segments consisting
of Ethernet,Token-Ring,FDDI,Arcnet,LocalTalk and Wan segments across
either X.25 PDN or T1 link.

Xircom's packet drivers implement a class 1 packet driver only (i.e., Ethernet
II only), and there is no option to convert Ethernet II IPX packets to "raw
802.3" format on the wire (this is the -n option on Crynwr drivers).  So the
only way you can run IPX over their packet driver is to use Ethernet II
encapsulation for IPX.

I had to evaluate these adapters for the I.U. School of Business here early
this summer.  I tried the packet driver PE2PKTDR.COM V1.03 (910821) with CUTCP
only.  Most of my evaluation was done using the ODI driver PE2ODI.COM V1.22
(920507) with ODIPKT.  This combination, when properly configured, worked OK.

I had problems with the ODI driver from the Xircom distribution diskette.
This driver was called PE2MLID.COM V1.00 (910821) (never run version 1.00 of
*anything* :-).  The ODI driver I ended up doing my testing with was a beta
test driver.  I wasn't real impressed with Xircom technical support until a
collegue here pulled some strings and got me the phone number of a real
engineer who could provide me with the beta test driver.

You should have gotten a BBS number and a Tech Support number in the little
installation instruction booklet that came with your adapter.  I would first
check the BBS and download the latest drivers and compare them to what you
are using.  If there is nothing newer there you could try technical support.
Or come back here and give us some details on what "having problems" means...

Using tcpip 1.01, I have a subnet mask of ff.ff.ff.0 on one interface, and
ff.ff.ff.e0 on three others, and it does work. Your novell config does look
right, I too can only suggest you take a close look at the end stations,
especially the gateway/default route settings. Another useful thing to do,
is get a copy of netwatch & have a look at your lan traffic, work out
exactly what is sending which packets to which machine. There may be other
more fancy (and more expensive) network analyzers around, but Netwatch is
adequate for this sort of thing.
There was some discussion on one of the lan or tcpip groups a while ago,
about implementations of tcpip which cannot handle subnet masks which are not
aligned on byte boundaries, but I missed most of it. What is the software
on the end stations?

Hi, 

I just looked in the NSE, and you are are right.  There is currently no entry 
for this solution when using the 3.x product (there is a mention  concerning
the 2.x product though).  I will make sure the 3.x version gets written and put 
in the NSE. It should take a month or so to get out to the field.  But, for all
of you who are watching this, don't wait for the book!  Just remember this
conversation and know the DL2000's polled interrupt should be tried if you are
having connectivity troubles...

Subject: problems with NetWare Lite v 1.1
Reply-To: shyen@bnl.gov
Organization: Brookhaven National Laboratory
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 19:11:31 GMT




I have installed two copies of the NetWare Lite v 1.1 on two different
machines.  Both machines are to be server and client.  Machine A (PS/2
model 80) has a HP LaserJet III attached.  Machine B (Gateway 486) has
more disk space.  

	
Problem 1:
In testing the remote printing from the Gateway 486, I
got a warning message displayed on the PS/2 machine.  The warning
message indicated that the printer seemed to be off line which was
not true at all.  My print job in the mean time was being processed and
completed without any missing pages.  The file I tried to print was the
CACHE.TXT file from NWLITE.  Has anyone experienced this problem before?
How do I eliminate the warning message?  By the way, I was also able to
print from Windows which is nice.  If I can just figure out what caused
the warning message to come up ..... 


Problem 2:
After I defined my network directories with network drives, I invoked
Windows and was unable to list the directory content of the network
drives.  I exited Windows, and the DIR command worked fine with the
network drives I defined.  Is this just a feature of NetWare Lite that
it is not a true Windows application?  If it isn't, then NetWare Lite is
different from its big brother NetWare v 3.11 that the network drives
are accessable from within Windows.  Can someone comment on that?

Subject line pretty well summarizes it.  I need to be able to telnet
and toggle between the telnet session and a DOS session.  The DOS 
sessions tend to be pretty big honking things (Lotus v 3.1, Foxpro, 
etc.) so the TSR has to be fairly small.  The shell to DOS that I'm
using now only gives me 303KB of the 640KB box, which is only good
for hanging my computer if I try to toggle either of the above.

Any hints, ideas, or suggestions on where I might look for such a

I have just attempted to upgrade a 5 node NWLite system to V1.1
The printer server (driving a Brother HL-4V) worked ok on V1.0 except
for some graphics apps. However the upgraded server proceeded to 
append extra text to the end of printouts and then hang requiring 
reboot. The extra text that came out of the printer included lines 
such as:

$VNWLSERV.386 load ABORTED (SERVER.EXE not loaded)

$Enhanced Windows load ABORTED

anyway, I re-installed V1.0 (on the printer server only) and the 
problem seems to have cleared.

pcAnywhere and Carbon Copy Plus come to mind - they are simple, easy to
use utilities that let you "take over" a remote keyboard and monitor from
a remote PC with a modem.  Both have password protection and can be set
up to "call back" users at their home (or other) phone (a feature I use
to transfer telecom costs to my client, but also a useful security feature).

Then other way is to use ODI drivers, but odi documentation

is odi->packet driver interface, but it has no info, how
to use it.

Hello there.. We at the UofM run Pathworks, Novell and SCO unix all
on the same ethernet!  Although we are running a training lab of 15 PC's
and they are DEC clones, we also have to use DEPCA cards.  Our experience
has been that you must reboot to access the VAX, and then use different
drivers to access Novell.  An easy way to do this is to simply make up 
a little menu system asking the user which machine they want to connect to 
and then copy the proper drivers, config.sys and Autoexec.bat's to the
root of the HD and reboot.  

You may not have to do this with better ethernet cards installed...

Hope this helps...E-Mail if you want more Specs.
