       There are currently a couple of ways I'm familiar with to run two
       (or more) protocols at the same time.
 
       1) Cogent's Open Windows Connection - I used it breifly with
       Decnet and TCPIP. Works well, but NOT with the current release f
       DEC's client TCPIP software. Will also allow Netware
       functinality, but I've not tried this.
 
       2) KEA systems' KEAlink - I'm using it now running Decnet for the
       file services, and KEAlink TCPIP for MULTIPLE interactive TCPIP
       sessions in windows, or a single interactive session with KEA's
       Zstem240. The KEAlink product includes ftp and some other utils,
       but also will allow FTP's PCTCP stuff to run (all though I've not
       gotten rsh to work with this config yet)

Help!
I have a Pathworks 4.1 network and am experiencing a MAC explosion.
I am having getting and Apple Laser Writer to connect to MAC workstations.
I tried to watch traffic on my Sniffer.  When I filter for Appletalk
traffic, I get nothing.  If I simply filter for traffic to-from a MAC
workstation, I get a lot of a Appletalk traffic.  I can see nothing
going to or from the printer.  However I see a lot of traffic between the
workstation in question and two servers on the net.
 
Does printer traffic get routed via a server?
 
How can I make sense of the Appletalk network naming convention?  This
dynamic naming is driving me nuts!!
 
I guess the proper question would be: Can anyone recommend some
reference material or literature that would help me understand the
nuts and bolts of Appletalk/Ethernet/Pathworks interaction?
 
Thanks for you patience and assistance!
 
Kevin

     I'm not at windows expert so pardon me if this is something simple.

	I have DEC's LATCOM with which I can access modems via a terminal
server.  I can use it from DOS with programs such as SETHOST, KERMIT, 
NETWORK PROCOMM and SMARTTERM.  However, I would like to use it from
within a windows application.  In particular, I have a Fax Modem connected
to a terminal server and would like to redirect Window FAX programs to 
access a COMx port redirected via LATCOM.  This requires windows to 
communicate via INT14.  Has anyone done this or know how one might be able
to use LATCOM from within windows.  Currently if you try to attach a 
LATCOM redirected COMx port, the application indicates that the port is
assigned to DOS and is inaccessable.

Thanks for any input.

Fellow Pathworkers,
 
We are in process of implementing Pathworks in the IS department as a pilot
project for the rest of the university.  Most parts are well received by
the staff.  However, one of the most common complaints or comments is
regarding the performance of SETHOST.
 
SETHOST is not as snappy as a terminal emulator connected to a terminal
server.  The display is "jumpy" and the input is "pausey".  (Both are user
comments.)
 
Is there some parameters that can be adjusted on the PC or VAX side to smooth
things out?  Or, is this the result of a PC emulating LAT?
 
Thanks,

Check the 386 control in Control Panel - there is an option there which
over-rides PIF settings, forcing Windows to make the foreground
(current) task exclusive - I don't know how it got set on in my
installation (defaults to off), but it caused some grief for a while.

I haven't tried quite your combo of network drivers, but from my
experience with NCSA and Win3x, -all- the driver stuff must be loaded
before running Windows (are you using the NDIS to packet driver shim? -
load it before Windows, not from a batch file under Windows) --AND-- set
"Lock application memory" to on (default is off) in the "Advanced"
section of the PIF.  Also, set the bios=yes option in your config.tel.

All these helped me to varying degrees.

  PATHWORK's V1.1A actually contained a mix of 3Com's V1.2 and V1.1 releases
(when compared with the actual 3Com distributions).

  Also, 3Com offers an NFS client add-on which requires a 3Com license (that
is, they won't accept a PATHWORKS license). I think the programming documen-
tation you can buy from 3Com is superior to that available from DEC, and you
actually get free technical support from the people who wrote it (my exper-
ience with CSC support for the PATHWORKS TCP/IP V1.1 was rather abysmal).

  DEC and 3Com have different discount scales for quantity purchases, and also
have different discounts based on DBA (DEC) or dealers (3Com). If price is im-
portant, you should probably price both options.

  Of course, DEC has integrated the package into NETSETUP, so if you're look-
ing for a turnkey solution you should stay with DEC.

       David;
 
       SETHOST ( and for that matter VT320, the Windoze terminal
       emulator that comes with pathworks) are just about the worst
       implimentation of a VT-series emulator I've seen. Do yourself a
       favor and get a copy of KEA systems' ZSTEM240 or KEAterm (the
       Windows version). They play VERY well with Pathworks, and provide
       just about the best emulation I've seen. The key mapping is just
       about PERFECT, including the PFx keys (you know, PF1 is the
       NUMLOCK key).

This sounds like some kind of problems with the UAF entry in AUTHORIZE or the
DECnet object for Pathworks or something.
 
Which version of VMS are you running? Have the user changed their password
recently? Check your PCFS_SERVER.LOG file to see whether you get any error
messages. If there is a "breakin attempt on PC fileserver from client node "
message, try stopping the file server (use the STOP/ID= command on the
PCFS_SERVER process) and restart it. Check the PCFS$ACCOUNT and
the users accounts to make sure that they do not have their password expired. If
so, do a MODIFY username/NOPWDEXPIRED.

    Re: "weissh@nextadm.cc.vt.edu" 
        -< Known Problems with Pathworks for Mac and VMS/DECnet 5.5? >-
    
    The most likely problem is that you have old out dated Macintosh
    Ethernet device drivers.  Contact your Mac Ethernet vendor (or vendors)
    and request the latest versions.  If you have FastPath IV it may even
    require a PROM upgrade.
    
    The problem most likely is due to a change in the VMS ethernet drivers
    which reject any packets that are received which do not match the
    length specified in the packet header.
    
    Earlier version of many Macintosh Ethernet device drivers were
    notorious for padding all output going packets to an even length
    regardless of what the packet header says the length is (this is
    commonly known as the evenizing problem).  It first showed up with some
    newer ethernet controllers which had the smarts to sanity check packets
    before even bothering the host VMS systems and rejected them at the
    hardware level.  Then later versions of VMS incorporated the same rules
    in the VMS ethernet device drivers so that this was consistant across
    all VMS platforms regardless of the type of ethernet controller
    installed.

HOWDY!
 
I called DEC on just this problem.  At the time, he said that 20% of their
PC support questions were on just this problem.  Apparently, SETHOST queries
the keyboard to see if it is an LK250.  The Anykey Keyboard locks up when
it gets this query.  To keep SETHOST from locking up, put this line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
 
       SET NVTLK250=0
 
This tells SETHOST that the keyboard is not an LK250 and it will not query
the keyboard.  Hope this helps!

Subj:   Pathworks problems
 
For the last few weeks I've been having serious problems
running Pathworks and Novell coexistence on two PCs in my
office. When running Foxpro applications in which Foxpro is
running on the Novell and the application is accessing data
in Pathworks, the system will at times hang. Or, it will
spontaneously reboot.
 
The same PCs running under straight Novell rarely display
such problems.
 
Things which may be related to the problems are:
 
1. Foxpro/Lan. Pathworks used for simple file transfers
etc., which I don't do often, hasn't produced any blowups.
 
2. Traffic on the network. Early in the morning and on
weekends these problems seem to occur less often.
 
3. Summertime. The problem seems to have begun in mid- or
late-June. Previously, my main Foxpro/Pathworks application,
for the NIDA project, worked reliably.
 
Obviously, I don't why this is happening--other than the
fact that people have been out to get me most of my life.
But, to me, Pathworks seems to the most likely culprit. It's
happening on not one by two machines, one a DTK and one a
Consultus. It doesn't happen under straight Novell.
 
I am reorganizing my main Pathworks application to minimize
the time the system is linked to Pathworks. I would like not
to have to do this. But my experience over the last few
weeks has been so bad, with major disruptions and wastes of
time, that I just don't have faith in the system.

I had no problems in setting this up.  Make sure you installed
for the PATHWORKS network and have installed whatever printers
you would like to use.  Set the following environment variables
for either WP or WP4W:

set wp=/nt-a/ps-c:\wp50/d-c:\wp50/u-mk
set wpwin=/nt-a/ps-c:\wpcini/d-c:\wpcini/u-mk
path %path%;l:\wp51

nt-a means use PATHWORKS, ps means put the setup file in the
noted directory, d means put overflow files again in the local
directory, and u is for separating users.  I set the path as shown
above (drive L: is the WP drive).

For printers, either use Window drivers or put the printer files in
the local writable directory.
