	Does anyone have any experience using the Novell Workplace for *
products as standalone products, ie. not in a Novell server environment?
I'm looking for some products that will allow file xfer between our Suns
and both Macs and PCs.  I also need to be able to use the TCP/IP printers 
on the network.  I'm currently playing with Novell's PLPD and NFS NLMs
which work but are expensive.
	The Novell docs I've gotten so far make reference to "remote"
printing capability with the Workplace SW but I'd like to here from
anyone using it.

Thanks, Regards

Hi all, been a while since ive asked anything here..

I am trying to connect a v.32bis modem as a network to network 
router bridge, each network being a TP ethernet 10baseT.

As i understand it, all i would need would be a network interface card like
driver for a pc serial port so that the modem connection
will appear to the router and the network as just more ethernet t on
very slow medium... Is such a driver for Netware Router available,
and if not, what other programs  can i use which will allow me
to connect these networks with a serial / modem connection?

please respond direct...

		Thanks much,

We are running Novell 3.11 with 3 volumes. Each volume belonging
to a different dept.
We are looking for a tool that will allow us to easily tell who
is using what amount of disk space in each of the volumes.
The problem is that as the disc space is consumed we don't know
who to target for file archiving and deletion without laboriously
searching the directory structure.

If the server is running NW286, use "SLIST server".  If it is running NW386,
SLIST's Node Address column is worthless, since it always shows 1 (for the
phonybaloney internal network).

I do hope that somebody at Novell is going to fix this SLIST bug.  I know that
it is documented to work that way, but it's still a bug.

Subject: A couple problems with Unix->Novell printing under PLPD
Organization: University of Toronto Department of Geography
Distribution: na
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 1992 04:14:10 GMT

Hi -  I've run into a couple of problems printing from our Unix 
machine to our Novell machine, and hope that someone out there
has an answer.

First, the machines in question: A PS/2 80 running Netware 3.11, including
Netware NFS, and a Sun Sparc 2 running SunOS 4.1.1B.  

Problem 1:  The -J option is not recognized.  I have successfully used
            the -h option though.

Problem 2:  The "Re-initialize" code (<EOT> or Ctrl-D) that I have defined
            using PLPDCFG is apparently not being sent to the printer, as
            it times out after the job has printed.  If it matters, yes I
            have defined the Device Configuration using PRINTCON.
            ( If I print directly to the printer from the PC network the
            re-initialize code makes it to the printer however )

The printer in question (HP IIP Postscript) has been set up with the 
Postscript filter option in PLPDCFG.
PLPDCFG is V1.2 (911112)

Any suggestions and/or wild guesses appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

What about using dspace - it's a 3.11 utility which allows a supervisor
equivalent to get a users disk space

The subject line basically tells it all.  I need to be able to detect
via software (Turbo Pascal), whether or not someone is using a file that
my software is attempting to act on.  My program automatically moves
files to pre-determined directories on the Novell but sometimes someone
is in the middle of accessing the same file on another station and that
action causes my software to freak out.  I would really appreciate the

There is another method of gaining access to a server when the supervisor
password has been deleted and/or changed.

Bring the system down and boot it into DOS (don't let it execute SERVER.EXE).
Using standard Norton Utilities disk editor (DE), edit the the disk. Search
for the Bindery files; NET&OBJ.SYS, NET$VAL.SYS and NET$PROP.SYS. Rename the
files to something like *.SSS. Reboot the system. Since SERVER cannot find
the Bindery files labeled *.SSS, it creates them....with NO Supervisor
password. You can now flag the files, rename the .SYS files to .OLD,
down the system, edit the disk again (renaming the files in SERVER.EXE to
*.SYS), bring up the server and run BINDREST.

Greetings All!

We are once again about to purchase a bundle of computers for our LAN and I am interested to know what computers do most of you all have for your workstations.  Or what you consider to be an ideal workstation.  To be specific, what vendor would most of you purchase from now, or have been, or will be in the future.

Our LAN is an Ethernet LAN, running Novell 3.11.  Most of our applications are Microsoft Applications -- Windows 3.1, Excel, Powerpoint, Project, etc.

Currently all our workstations are IBM PS/2 Model 55sx.  We would like to stay in the PS/2 world, but with the price wars going on we would like to consider maybe buying from a third party vendor, such as, Gateway, Zeos, Northgate, Compaq, AST, etc.

Please include pros and cons for the machine for which you would consider.

Your response would be most appreciated, hoping that it will help in my research for future purchases.

For NetWare 3.11 look in the Installation manual or the Sys Administration.
Most shell.cfg entries will work in a net.cfg file.  Net.cfg adds more

Lots of luck.  About a year ago I looked into getting an ODI driver for a
UB-NIC PS/2 card that was installed in the workstation I was using then (an
old IBM 6152).  I found an FTP site, ftp.ub.com, but there was nothing there.
I sent e-mail to Postmaster@ub.com and was given a phone number to call for
support (sorry, I don't have it anymore).

So I called them.  The situation at that time was that the only kind of ODI
driver support for UB-NIC PS/2 card was the NW386 server driver.  I was told
there were no plans to provide an ODI DOS workstation driver for the UB-NIC
PS/2 card.  I *think* they said they had ODI DOS workstation drivers for
their proprietary network interfaces (non-Ethernet - I don't know much about
this - there is some of this 5MB stuff installed at the Medical Center here,
but we don't have to support it).  Perhaps they provide ODI DOS workstation
drivers for their newer Ethernet cards, assuming they make any.

That was the last UB card I've seen, and as far as I know we aren't purchasing
any new ones...

So, if I were you, I would write to Postmaster@ub.com and get the support
number and call and ask about it.  Perhaps the situation has changed since
I talked to them (assuming you're talking about some kind of UB Ethernet card?)

The only reference I have on Network Programming is the book wriiten by
Barry Nance entitled Network Programming in C. In it he lists Novell's
Extended DOS Services.

I have experienced difficulty in using this information because this
reference section is not documented completely. More specifically, I am 
having problems understanding some of the data structures that must be
created and used in conjunction with the selected Netware function calls.

For example, the Get Bindery Object ID (function # 0xE3, type 0x35) 
requires the following structure to be created and filled with the
relevant data before the function call can be issued.

     struct 
          {
	  word buffer_length;
	  byte type;
	  nw_int object_type;
	  byte object_name_length;
	  char object_name[48];
	  } request_buffer;			     
	  
The only problem is that I don't know how to use the second member of 
the struture (ie request_buffer.type). The reference I have (Nance)
is of no help.

Can anyone provide the details my problem?

Also, can you recommend any other sources of reference material on
Novell's Extended DOS services?

  Wanted to see what the general feeling was about Proteon card first
off.  I've heard "rumors" that Proteon cards have problems with WANs.
  Secondly, I wanted to describe a problem and see if anyone has had
it or could offer some help.

Config:	PS 80 running Netware 3.11, Token ring and Ethernet NICs.
	PC client running dos 5.0 ODI/Lan workplace for Dos.

  The fileserver is configured to do IP routing.  I have two problems
with this configuration. A ftp transfer from any of the clients to
a Primos system (My involvemnt) via the fileserver will time out if
the file is about a Meg or so.  The exact error message is:

"on input: Connection reset by peer"
"Error in getting file lipids.csv, partial file deleted."
"get: Connection reset by peer"

  Now for what I've tried.  If your transfer from a Token ring client
to another Token ring client it works fine. If your transfer from an 
Ethernet client to the Primos system it works fine.  Also, we installed
LWP NFS on the client and when mounting from the Primos system we have
problems.
  This seems to imply that the gateway is the problem or one of the
systems using the gateway.  Any information that you could pass on 
will be appreciated.  Anyone using a configuration like this and has
info please let me know.

DSPACE is inadequate for more than a few users. Retrieve quota.zip from
ono.lincoln.ac.nz, default directory. It contains 3 quota management
utilities, one of which (getquota) allows you to retrieve quotas, space
used and space available en masse. It handles 2.x quotas, 3.x volume quotas
and 3.x directory quotas. Use 'getquota ?' for instructions.

I have used XTREE PRO Gold successfully on a Novell LAN.  Even though it is
designed as a single user DOS application, it works fine in single user mode
on a network drive.  The PRUNE function should delete large groups of files
and subdirectories as you require if I understand your requirement correctly.
There are also some powerful move functions which may be helpful.
