Novell sure missed the boat here.  Ther is not good reason to trash
the passwords.  I have a friend with a utility that will read 2.15
passwords.  If he can write a utility that does this Novell sure
should be able to include this function in the 3.11 upgrade syustem.
Any comments!!!

Subject:      Combining Two Networks - Recommendations

Folks --


I have two separate PC computer laboratories which are not connected to each
other.  The distance between the two laboratories is approximately 75 feet.
We want to start a project to combine both networks into one overall Novell
network (implies new file server and Novell 3.11).  Here are the specifics
of the two networks.

                         LAB A                     LAB B

  NOS              3COM LAN Manager 1.1      Novell 2.1, Rev a
  Work-
   Stations               16                         16
  Printers                 3                          2

The 3 printers (2 lasers, 1 dot-matrix) on the 3COM network are connected
directly to the server.  The 3COM network uses HP communications hubs for
workstation connectivity.  For the Novell network, we have a small Print
Server that the two printers are connected to.

Applications are typical for a network.  The only WINDOWS application
we use currently is Pagemaker 4.0 -- hence, one of our laser printers has
postscript capability.

The issue is printer support for these laboratories.  I see two possible
options:

    1.  Small print servers for each laboratory.

    2.  Directly connected printers to my new server.

Questions --  what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two
options?  Is there any other approach that I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance.

    Steve

        I put together a document describing the Utah standard on naming

be connected together without conflicts. The file NETNAME.TXT in directory
misc on NW 3.11 file server netlab2.usu.edu has the description, a Postscript
file showing how it works in some detail, an example autoexec.ncf file,
and a few pieces of old Email on the matter.

I experienced the same problem if you are using the NW .PDF file for
postscript.  Someone on one of these lists was nice enough to send a
postscript .PDF file that works.  THe jobs would just be processed
and the the printer would accept the data but never print anything
out.  But with the new .PDF it works quite nicely.  It is set up to
be modified very easily as well for additional fonts or sizes.

I don't know about ftp, but Interlan have their own BBS on 508 264 4345
(USA).

However, I've just looked on there, and I can't see one for 3.x, unless the
one that says _Server Driver v3.2 for Netware 286_ is a typo, and they
actually mean 386 (as there is another one for Netware 2.0).

If you haven't got access to BBSs I could download the 286 one for you and
email it, so you can have a look at it.

This isn't serious (if your server is still running!) and is detailed
_somewhere_ (I tried, but couldn't find it just now). It's a problem that
manifests itself on EISA machines (or is it just FAST machines?).

Anyway, the solutions is to type "set display lost interrupt alerts=off" at
the system console and/or put it in startup.ncf.

   The KERNEL is the memory resident module necessary to invoke TCP/IP
   utilities.  It is the foundation on which all else is built.
   The KERNEL talks to the device drivers that are placed in the
   CONFIG.SYS file to get the exact station configuration information.
   No utilities (i.e. FTP, Telnet, Ping, etc. are included as part of
   the kernel).

   PC/TCP includes the device drivers, KERNEL and all utilities.

   If you only want to run the HCL-eXceed product, then the KERNEL
   is all you need.

I KNOW i pulled the drivers for this card off their BBS.  Not only the 3.11
workstation drivers, but drivers for NDIS, ODI and DECNET too.  The
interesting thing about the 3.11 driver was that it also supports a Packet
Driver interface at the same time.

I have all these drivers here.  Let me know if you are unsuccessful, and I
will figure a way to get them to you.

        BNETX and Windows do not agree with each other and the machine is
hung as a surrogate. As I recall the tussle is over control of the timer
interrupt. The recommendation is to go back to NETX.

    Hey,

    But now, when we try to print (HP LASERJET), we got special

Subject:      Question: Executing PATH in the system login script

I have a lot of users with local apps & I need to restore their local paths
after they log out (using dougmenu).

I've tried adding a line in the system login script to execute the path
command & direct the output to a temporary batch file on the local drive,
which could then be run after logging out. But Novell doesn't seem to find
the "path" command. It reports that it can't find it. (I tried running a
simple DIR from the login script, also with no success)

I've tried:

#path > c:\setpath.bat
#dos path > c:\setpath.bat
dos path > c:\setpath.bat

Any suggestions??

THANKS!

Subject:      ODI & Gopher

I have been told by several people responding to my mail that there does
indeed exist a version of Gopher that runs with ODI/LWP.  Only trouble is I
can't find it.  It isn't on boombox, at least not in the PC_client subdir.
Does anyone know where it is AND what, exactly, the file is called?
PS Thanks to several for the offer of sending files, but (1) I can't uudecode,
and (2) there seems something strange about our file transfer system here &
they don't come out intact, so for now I'd like to find their ftp site.

PPS ditto request for Trumpet.  Thanks.

PPPS Oh yes one other thing for those who suggested it -- ODIPKT, or at least
the 1.2 version of it that I have, is WORTHLESS on Token Ring as it only
supports some strange class of ethernet that won't talk to NCSA or ant=ything
else.  Thanks anyway.
