      Has a new Arcnet card recently been installed?  The behavior
      you describe can result from having two cards set to the same
      address, especially if one of the cards is installed in the
      server.  This is a common error if you have MCA PS/2s on
      the LAN, and the installer selects "automatic configuration"
      when running the Reference diskette.

      Anybody been mucking around in your telephone closets lately?
      Check your twisted pair circuits to be sure.

      Are you using any passive hubs?  If so, either 1) get rid of
      them and use only active hubs; or, if you cannot afford
      option 1), 2) make very sure that no active device is more than
      100' from the passive hub.

      An Arcnet diagnostic program, such as Arcmon Plus (used to be
      published by Wescon, but I'm not sure who sells it now) is
      an absolute must if you are maintaining an Arcnet LAN.  It
      will tell you if you are getting constant reconfigurations
      and/or have a runaway Arcnet card.

      If you've already addressed all the above issues, I would
      be inclined to replace the server's Arcnet card at this point.

Probably. I have 3C507 in my 386 ISA 33Mhz NetWare server. Norton's SYSINFO
(from NU 6.0) shows transfer rate 200-220KB/s, while on older server equipped
with NE1000 it was 60-80KB/s. In fact, now I prefer working on the server
than on a local HD (Seagate 137) because it is faster...

Subject:      cost/benefit of tunneling vs multi-protocol routing
X-To:         novell@suvm.acs.syr.EDU

To tunnel or not to tunnel?  That is the question.  Is it nobler to
encapsulate IPX in IP packets to pass through our Cisco routers, or to
route IPX directly and sully the IP protocol purity of our backbone
network?  We are searching for the answer.

Some of our larger organizations (the they) that are geographically
dispersed throughout the campus feel that it is much more cost effective
for them to have us route IPX directly rather than require tunneling.  Our
central networking organization (the we) feels that it is much more cost
effective, and overall technically beneficial, to route only IP and require
encapsulation of any other protocols crossing routers.  From an individual
organization perspective, both we and they are correct.  What we don't know
is which is best for the University as a whole?

We are looking for any data anyone may have on the comparative cost of
encapsulating IPX vs routing it.  What is the performance hit on an
individual Novell LAN from encapsulation?  What benefits of subnetting do
we reduce or lose from routing multiple protocols?  What are the additional
technical resource requirements of routing multiple protocols vs those
required with the encapsulation approach?  What are those of you who are
subnetting IP networks doing to address these issues?  How did you come to
your decisions?

Any information anyone can provide us with will be greatly appreciated.
Respond either on the list or directly by e-mail.  If I get enough data to
come to any conclusions I'll summarize it and post the results to the list.

Thanks very much for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Subject:      LOGIN SERVER USERID PASSWORD
X-To:         novell%suvm.bitnet@thama1.apgea.army.mil

    There was a guy that was asking if you could perform a login, giving the
    password on the command line.

    Someone else also answered the question with an emphatic NO.  This is
    indeed the correct answer.  BUT, if you want to attach to a file server
    (not login, but attach), I have written XATTACH.

    You could perform the following:

    XATTACH server userid password

    And the program will attach you to the specified server, without asking
    for any input (provided the information supplied is valid).

    I originally started out with the following code (executed from within a
    Perl script):

    echo %Password|attach %Server/%User

    But, the Novell attach program requires over 100K of RAM to run (XATTACH
    requires about 11K).  So, what I am getting at is that you could also
    perform:

    echo %Password|login %Server/%User

    And, it will work.  The only problem is the amount of RAM it requires to
    run.

    I have not gotten around to rewriting LOGIN, because I would have to
    parse the entire LOGIN script language, and if I were really going to do
    that, I would make it a better language (which, with Netware 4.0 may be
    a moot point anyway, so I will wait and see what that is like...).

    This is kind of rambling, but I think you will get the picture.

    If you want the executable, or source for XATTACH, just email me
    privately, as I normally do not subscribe to NOVELL@SUVM.BITNET.

Subject:      Request for Views on Single Protocol BackBone
X-To:         novell@suvm.acs.syr.edu

A few years ago, before LANs became as popular as they are today, the
central computing body of our University decreed that the campus backbone
was to be TCP/IP only. When the main pieces of equipment on the backbone
were terminal servers, this was not a problem.

However, as people started using LANs more and more, we started wanting to
access servers from different buildings around the campus. My division
started this need as we are spread across three buildings on two campuses
and the backbone is the only common link. When I suggested the possibility
of IPX on the backbone I was looked at as if I had two heads and
practiced witchcraft.

No amount of probing has revealed a satisfactory reason for holding to
this policy but reasons like easier to manage and more efficient data
transfer have been mentioned. I am currently linking my distant Novell
servers using the IPTUNNEL provided with NW 3.11 and although this works,
is can be very slow, especially when our "single protocol" backbone
doesn't work very well anyway. We have fibre between all our buildings and
CISCO routers in all buildings that are set up to block all but TCP/IP
from leaving the building. The link between our two campuses is a 2Mb
microwave link which seems to be a major bottleneck between the two sides.

Back to the main reason for this message. I would like to hear the
opinions of others in NetLand regarding the "single protocol backbone"
policy, especially others in the educational sector. In particular, I
would like to know what the policy is elsewhere and reasoning behind the
policy. Do you agree with the official line and why (or why not)? What sort
of equipment (and quantity) is used at your site and the layout of your
network is also of interest.

A friend who is a dedicated list reader mentioned that Joe Doupnik had
made some comments regarding this topic some time ago. Joe, if you're
listening, could you repeat those words for me please?

Please reply directly to my E-mail address below and I will summarize to
the List in a week or two.

        I have two Windows FTP programs here, Huges Prolinc and LWP, and
both try to be clever about presenting files and directories as such. When
file transfers are involved both mess up. I have tossed out any consideration
of doing ftp in Windows as a botched job, and I do ftp's straight from the
DOS prompt. In fact I am disgusted with the Windows attempts to do ftp and
wonder why these products let that part become public.

Of course you are right (and you must know it :-), but ... given the
fact that neither you nor David distribute sources, where is the difference ?

I patch every Pmail I install (I replace all "Reply-to" Strings to

Just curious..

        The simple way is NCOPY From To /S, just like XCOPY. I can't bring
up FILER at the moment but memory says that you can move objects that way
too. The messy part is if the moving directory structure is wide and flat
rather than nicely heirarchial. In the flat case I'd use a tape backup
and "mark" the directories to be restored to a new place, assuming your backup
program provides that flexibility.

Subject:      Printing from SCSI ports - possible?

Hello tout le monde,

Question:
How do you drive a printer from a SCSI port in a Netware system?

We are contemplating buying a Tektronix Phase II postscript printer
for our audio visual service, (mega big files, mega big
performance wanted) but want to know:

1   Do drivers exist for cards in either server/workstation, if yes
    where do I get them from; or what about ASPI drivers?

2   Can you use the Netware printserver software/rprinter or Printer
    Assist (Fresh Technology)?  Printer Assist allows you to define a
    memory location, and under Netware there is the 'Other ...'
    option, but will these work with SCSI?

3   Anything that I havn't asked that is relevant.

I'm happy to sumarise for the list if you send to me personally.
Thanks in advance.

No, this does not work, but since the password is read from the standard
input device, you can use DOS piping:

        ECHO password| LOGIN server/userid

Hope this helps.
