Try looking at PEGASUS MAIL (free software with wide support from author
and users on the INTERNET).  It has several supported gateways including
the option to define your own!  The are also free gateways like CHARON
(KA'ron) that are design to work hand in hand with PMAIL.

Subject: Mac freezeups while on Novell server
Organization: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 16:15:44 GMT

We have a group of Macs in another building at our site
that log on daily to our office's Novell server.  The
Macs are in another Appletalk zone and on a different
subnet on the other side of a couple of routers on our
site-wide network.

At first things seemed to be running pretty well, but
during the last few weeks the Mac users have reported
serious problems with slowdowns and cursor freezing.
Typically what happens is they will be typing in Word or
QuarkXPress and the cursor will freeze for 5 to 15
seconds.  Eventually it comes back, but sometimes some
of the text is lost, particularly if the user was a
fast typist.  This has been happening lately once every
minute or so, so the problem is more than a minor
annoyance to the users.  Occasionally there are other
problems, such as mysteriously being logged off the
server.

We ran a few tests to try to isolate the problem --
removing cc:Mail's ccNotify init, for example.
We finally determined that the problem appeared when
the user was logged into our Novell server.  If they
dragged the server volume into the trash, the problem
disappeared.

I gather from reading other messages here that the
answer might be "You have too much traffic on your WAN."
However, I'm still trying to determine what can be done
about it.

For the time being users have adopted the workaround of
only logging on when they need to, but since these
folks are heavy server users this means logging on and
off perhaps 20+ times a day.  Would establishing some
kind of tunneling to route traffic probably help?  Is
this an inevitability of the way Macs talk to servers,
or is there hope in sight for a less delicate protocol
in the future?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Frank

Agreed.  Netware is an OS.            

Now, I'm sure that most people would agree that comp.os.netware makes
more sense for at least two reason; Novell has its fingers in more
pies than just netware, netware is an OS.  Does it make sense to break
the hierarchy into:

comp.os.netware:    Articles dealing with Netware as a whole, the product
		    line, CNE/CNA certification, ...

comp.os.netware.2x  Articles dealing with Netware version 2.15, 2.2, ...
comp.os.netware.3x  Articles dealing with Netware version 3.1, 3.11, ...

And is there room in this hierarchy for a 
comp.os.netware[.???].programmer? (E.G. comp.os.netware.2x.programmer, 
comp.os.netware.3x.programmer.  Or perhaps only comp.os.netware.programmer?)
while the changes are being made?

Does anyone know if there is a TSR that will beep at you if you get new 
mail?  We are using Pegasus mail (pmail) with charon, but I think it could
be a generic program that monitors sys:mail.

I'm thinking along the lines of the "C" shell for unix, where it checks to
see if /usr/spool/mail has been modified, and if so, spits out a line saying
"You have new mail".

Also, a program similar to "xbiff" for X windows would be awesome for 
Microsoft Windows.  You know, a little icon that changes color and beeps 
when new mail arrives! :)

Anybody seen anything like this?

Well I don't have the info off the top of my head, but there are adaptors 
for laptops that give you a SCSI port via your parallel port (like the ones 
that give you an ethernet port).  Would be a LOT slower than norm, but it 
would do the job.  If I come across a specific one I'll pass the info along.

My first impression would be that you have a virus (the 638Kb memory is certainly an indication that *something* may be using 2kb off the 'top of DOS'!
Does CHKDSK also report 638Kb?

How are you defining "censored."  Rejection (refusing to

Have you thought about getting a C compiler? This is not a religious thing,
since I believe that both languages are well worth using. However, at age
13, diversity of experience is something that is developing, and being able
to use two computer languages is a valuable thing.

Besides, Turbo C++ for DOS is about 80 bucks.

In the DOS world I think you're out of luck.  Especially if this office
has any McGyver-types running around loose.  BTW, how do you intend to

a public-key security program, maybe.

I have successfully erased beyond recognition 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" disks using
a 40oz. magnet from the back of a 12" woofer, so it is possible.  The trick is
to sufficiently scramble the magnetic elements on the disk by moving it around
close to the magnetic source (magnet).
