Bugger. I have Unique passwords set to NO in the restrictions SYSCON list, but

You are asking for trouble here.  This is something that Novell has
always done, and there are a number of applications packages I know
of that use these directories, and rely on the create right to

We have a couple of Netport II's on order, so I can't say for sure, but
I think they can reconnect to the network if the server downs.  I also
think that there might be a newer version of the software that you can
update onto your existing netports.  We have two of those, also, and I
just downloaded a newer version, and think I saw that in the
documentation file.  To save you the cost of dialing into their bbs, I
could put the file up for anon-ftp on monday, if you'd like.

Subject:      Non-Brand Network Card - Will it work?

Our department found a source for 16 bit ethernet cards for $99.  So we ordered
a few of them.  Of course these cards carry no name to mention. The cards are
imported from a company in Tawain so there is no tech support.

I am attempting to install one of these cards in an XT computer, and I was
wondering if there was anything to look out for in getting a 16 bit card
to work in an 8 bit slot?

I have heard this was a possibly, and the manual just mentions some problems
that may be encountered in an XT, but none of the problems seemed to be what
I was facing.

Is this really possible or am I just trying to make it do something it wasn't
meant to do, and possibly can't do?

Thanks,
Jeff

Subject:      Re: Postscript TSR

If the postscript printer is off a NetWare Queue, you can use PRINTCON
features to print to it as an ascii printer.

To do this, make sure your NET.CFG (or SHELL.CFG, whichever you use), has
the statement:

PRINT HEADER=255

Next, get the "POSTTEXT" PDF file. I'm sorry I can't remember of the name
of the file that contains that but it's on NetWire (CompuServe). Create a
print job configuration for postscript jobs, and another for "POSTTEXT"
jobs. Set one to capture to LPT1 and the other to LPT2. This will allow you
to send normal text or postscript interchangably just by selecting which
port you print to.

We do this in our field office for a LocalTalk connected Apple LaserWriter
II NTX and it works great - LPT1 is the ascii version, lpt3 is the same
printer for postscript (lpt2 is a PCL printer with letterhead always
loaded).

It's not even that simple.  WinQVT/Net also writes out a temporary

only one user can run the program at a time.

I've talked to the folks at QPC software and explained the problem.
Since we're interested in a site license, I'm hopeful that a sol-
ution will come soon.

There is one way around this madness.  While WinQVT/Net won't bootp,
(that's another one of my requests, though this is a major thing for
them to put in), it will RARP for its IP address.  Of course, this
means you need something running rarpd on each LAN.  You probably
don't have a UNIX box sitting on each PC LAN.  However, with a copy
of Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS, a PC with and ODI-compliant NIC,
and the free but unsupported RARP server from Novell, you can set-up
a RARP server.  In fact, the RARP server doesn't need to be dedicated,
it can also be used as a user workstation (though, once you load
LWP4DOS's TCPIP kernal, you can't use WinQVT/Net or any other package
that talks to packet drivers).

You would set-up one QVT_TCP.RC file, with all the necessary info.
The one exception would be to enter the keyword RARP instead of
the true address for the pc.  Each PC would need its own local-copy
of WinQVT/Net, but at least you wouldn't have to generate and maintain
unique QVT_TCP.RC files for each of your 400 PCs.

QPC Software has a CompuServe account, but it is my understanding that
the person who kept track of that mailbox is no longer with the

anyway, their address and phone is:

    76676.1420@CompuServe.COM

Writing not in response to this notice/query but in someway related to it:
I note the  very (!) long list of `set' commands in the writer's autoexec.ncf
and thought that I might draw the attention of readers to a very useful and
 freeNLM called `mset' which brings up a menu of ALL the possible set commands
 and
allows you to just move a highlight bar up and down to select one and then
flip it on or off at will or change its numeric setting. No more typing
 colossally long lines like my favourite: `set console display watchdog
 logouts=off'
(What's the longest possible line? Maybe we should hold a competition.)

Any set command can be issued in this fashion though of course some of them
will need the server being downed. Mset.nlm is nice, easy and free! get it from
splicer.cba.hawaii.edu (128.171.17.7) in novell/utility.

   If I was doing this a work, I would spec out and put in one high end
   server with redundancy built in (mirrord/duplexed drives or drive arrays).
   the heavy duty super servers have been built to handle the heavy load.
   Use ONLY 32 bit busmaster cards.  EISA, MCA or Proprietary is OK.

   Have a decent maintenance contract in place.  If you can have a basic
   hot spare machine, it would be a great test bed for new OS versions and
   applications.

   If you have reason to believe that your concurrent count will be above 250,
   then you will have to go with two servers.  ARCServe can be used to both
   back up your servers to one another and to tape.

   We use Systempros, but there are a number of good machines out there.
   If I were budgeting for this server, I would put down $50K, which would
   include the server, disk, OS, tape and network utilities.  Applications
   would be extra.

Subject:      ODINSUP under OS/2 problem
X-To:         novell@suvm.bitnet

I'm trying to get IBM's TCPIP for OS/2 (NDIS-based) and the Netware Requester
to peacefully co-exist on an NE2000 via ODINSUP. I've run into a few snags.

Individually, both products work fine. However, for various reasons, I need to
use a private DOS session (someone else described a similar situation). If I
run the NETX that came with the requester (3.22 for OS/2 VDM), my machine hangs
during login (big time hang: requires big red switch!). It seems to happen when
it runs into a line in the login script that runs an external program, ie:
#NEWMAIL. I believe it may be running an incorrect command.com or something.
Copying the command.com from \o2\mdos to the root helped, but login went really
wacky: I ended up with only one search drive mapped (U) instead of 6 and kept
getting memory allocation errors.

Okay, if I run the "regular" netx (3.26), then my private DOS window works
fine. In fact, Novell in general is great. However, all the TCP/IP stuff loses
contact with the network. No errors, they just can't communicate. Similarly, my
machine is no longer pingable from outside.

Global DOS windows and OS/2 windows work fine in both instances (though you
can't seem to boot 4DOS as a global window).

I have two boards in my machine, and if I set each product to use their own
board, everything is hunky dory. Unfortunately, I need the other board for a
network monitoring program and I don't really have the slots to put a _third_
board in. (BTW, anyone successfully used a Packet driver-driven Windows program
under OS/2?).

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Subject:      SMC 8003 error - cannot accept 802.3

We recently added a second SMC ethernet card (elite 16 plus) to an
existing 3.11 server.  When we bound protocols to the cards (802.3
and Ethernet_II on #1, 802.3 on #2) using the new driver that came
with the new card we got "frame type not supported" on both cards
with 802.3.  Ethernet II bound fine.

(I did not install this network so don't know if the error was
generated before adding the second card)

The strange thing is that the network seems to work fine, and when
I check LAN statistics in the Monitor screen it shows 802.3 running
on both cards.

Is this one of those "don't worry about it" bugs in the driver or
should I be worried?  (The problem might not yet be evident because
we are using packet drivers that might be using E_II)

Novell has a package to write ODI drivers for adapters. But it is not
free. It's price more or less $7,500. It is called IMDP (Independent
Manufacturers Development Program). No source available on nets about ODI.
Novell has another program call PDP (Professional Developers Program). It's
aim is to write programs for protocol stacks. And suprisingly it is free.
So looking for a driver source is meaningless. A student can not by IMDP.

Subject:      Determining server bottlenecks
X-To:         NOVELL%SUVM.BITNET@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU

Does anyone know of ways to determine the bottlenecks of a server?
(Preferrably by using MONITOR.NLM statistics)  Whether it is the
server network card(s)/memory for cache buffers/cpu speed/or
other?(Assuming that you can even narrow it down to one thing.)

Any help would be appreciated
