That would require a tool like popIt, which could make pmail "resident".
If I remember right, you can purchase PopIt from Infinite Technologies.
There might be other similar programs.

No. These Messages are a Novell function, PMail only uses them
(which you can turn off).
A long time ago I saw a shareware product, which installed resident
and caught these messages to display them in a more friendly way.
But unfortunately I don't remember the name - does someone know more ?

Subject: Help with HP StarLAN Server drivers (.LAN files)
Organization: Texas A&M University
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1992 19:21:59 GMT

I've got a Novell 3.11 Network running on about 50 486's over Western
Digital Ethernet cards, and a Novell 2.15 network running on 30-odd HP
Vectra 286s with HP StarLAN 27240A cards that have been running for 3+
years, and I'd like to get them all running off the same server. 

I've found Netware 386 drivers for the StarLAN cards on the HPs, but
I can't find out where to get the .LAN file for the 486 server. All 
the manuals I have are from 1988/89, all the HP phone numbers have been
disconnected and the few HP people that I have been able to get in touch
with don't really know what I'm talking about.

Can anyone tell me where I can get this driver?  (If it helps, the 286
version was called HPSTSHMC.LAN)

Thanks in advance,

Somewhere in my readings, I came across a freebie utility that is a very
tiny TSR for ending the current print job that is going to a network
queue. This is for programs that are not LAN friendly and normally force
you to quit the application before your print job is released from the
queue. The idea is that you load this TSR, and after printing, you just
press special key combination and it forces the end of the current job. 

I would ask archie, but since I don't have a clue what the program was
called, I'm at a loss. Anyone know the name of this program or where I can
get it?

Well, they're probably usable, but considering that the primary purpose
of the server is to act like a disc drive extention, the bottleneck will
still be the bus. The faster boxes would be *great* for graphics or
analysis workstations, but in a server application it would seem to 
waste most of the capacity. Sort of like putting a Ferrari V12 into
a Volkswagen Bug....

There's no set "install time" that applies to all LANs. I can install NetWare
3.11 on a preconfigured server, put cards in two PCs on a bench, and have
them talking in about an hour. However, it will take me a lot more than
100 hours to build a server, cable 100 offices, punch down 200 pairs of 
wire, hook in a patch panel, install cards in all the workstations, resolve
the { interrupt I/O memory } conflicts, test each connection, and set up
all the accounts. 

It depends upon the size of the LAN, the building, the topology, the physical
layer being used, how cooperative purchasing and suppliers are, access to the
areas, how varied the equipment to be attached is, and lots of other variables.
There's no way to specify "x minutes per connection" or anything like that.

Sorry; this isn't telephones or electrical outlets...

Once Keith calms down enough so the foam from his mouth stops getting
all over his keyboard, perhaps he'll come back and give you a real
answer.  In the mean time, here's the gist of what he'll say:

The Sparc tells NetWare NFS that it's ready to receive a certain
amount of data.  NFS has no mechanism for moderating data rate: the
server is free to return the requested data as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, NetWare NFS's "as fast as possible" is too fast for the
Sparc to handle.  This isn't entirely uncommon in the NFS world.  In
fact, NetWare NFS itself can have a similar problem if it's crippled
with a sufficiently slow network interface card.

I'm not really an expert on NFS, so i hope i've managed to clear this
up a little without mangling the facts too badly.  And i actually
don't know the first thing about a "Sparc IPC", whatever that is, i'm
just extrapolating from Keith's comment about it, based on my limited
knowledge of NFS.

We have a team looking at our Lan Installation Procedures and one of our 
problems is the amount of time it takes to install a LAN.  So I was asked to 
ask you about how long it takes.  (This is really only applicable to 
Universities, but others are welcome to reply.)

Here is the situation, you work for your University's Computing Department 
and you specify and install Local Area Networks.  You meet with a department 
and determine that a LAN is needed.  From the point that the department 
decides to purchase a LAN, how long does it take until you have the 
equipment installed and on premisis at the department site.

If you also don't mind, could you list a quick flow of how it happens.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know which versions of Novell's operating systems that
supports IPX BURSTMODE. Is it 3.11 and up?

My understanding is that IPX BURST MODE is primarily intended to enhance
WAN traffic performance between Novell LANs by allowing multiple IPX
request/responses in one burst of traffic, instead of having one
response/request in a 512 byte packet. Are there any other benefits to
IPX BURSTMODE ?

Many thanks in advance to any replies.

Hi!

Could anyone HELP with the following problem:


My setup:

	a 386-DX (25 MHz)
	NI5210 8 bit NIC
	DOS 4.01
	Windows 3.1
	X-vision 4.0

	I load the NI5210 packet driver with the -n & -w options
	I load ipxbyu.com

My problem:

	My environment is very unstable. My machine tends
	to hang, when working from within windows, while
	running X-vision and/or MS-mail for windows.

My attempted solution:

	I down loaded intelpd.zip and replaced ipxbyu.com
	with pdipx.com.

What happened next:

	When I loaded netx.com a received the response 
	"File Server not found". I received this response
	when trying to connect to a File Server (F/S) 
	running 2.2 as well as a F/S running 3.11.

	I then cpatured the packets on the network using 
	'SNIFFER' and found that the packets sent by my 
	PC were standard "Netware Nearest Service Query"
	packets and when I tried to connect to the 2.2 F/S
	the server responded with a standard response but
	my PC did not pick up this response. When I tried
	to connect to the 3.11 server the server did not 
	respond at all.

NOTE:	I even tried re-generating the pdipx.com file
	by using 'nlink.exe', the supplied sipx.obj and
	the ipx.obj supplied with windows 3.1 but I 
	experienced the same response as described above.

Our F/S speak 802.3 and when using the econfig.exe program
to check what the pdipx.com was speaking it returned 802.3.


CAN ANYONE OUT THERE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I MIGHT BE DOING WRONG 
OR WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH 
YOUR SUGGESTIONS. I WILL ALSO WATCH THIS GROUP FOR POSTINGS.

I must NOT be hearing this correctly?  NetWare does NOT handshake properly
with NFS on a FAST server!?  It pumps out data whether the receiving station

Folks,
I'd like to request your help on the following questions:
1) A DBF file was created in Novell 2.15.  This file encountered read error
in Novell 3.1.  What's the difference between the two versions with respect
to this problem?
2) Why can't Novell 2.15 support 386 machines (while Novell 3.1 can)?

Please reply directly to my email.
Thanks a lot.
