    Peter, thanks for the comments.

    It sounds like the temp-file is sitting there in the root directory of
    f: and I just can't get at it.  Drat!

    How the heck can this be gotten around?  Could Read rights to f:\ be
    granted to any/every one without opening up the whole system?

One would think that a Pmail/Windows is in the works, but Pmail will work
from Windows fine if you run it in a Dos shell.  I've even run it in a Dos
Window with no problem.

Use the PIF file that came in the archive.

System script first and then user script.

three ideas,  (1)  make sure there is _no_ "exit" command in the system
login script.  (2) make sure that the user still has read and search
rights in his SYS:MAIL\%OBJECTID% directory.  (3) I think you must leave
at least one drive letter mapped to SYS: as of the end of the system login
script.

troubleshooting idea - put "write "I got to line 36" " commands in the
system login script temporarily.

I posed this question to Novell directly, and they told me for
IDE drives use the isadisk.dsk driver with the /b parameter.  The syntax
is:  isadisk.dsk /b (you must use the lowercase /b).

Also,  if you are a subscriber to Netware Connection, there is a good
discussion of this topic in the May/June 1992 issue.

Briefly summarized as follows:

In what situations do I use the flags for the NetWare v3.11 ISADISK driver?

Subject:      Still trying to print...

Hi again everyone...

I am still trying to get my ZEOS 486DX-33 EISA machine to talk to my
mutated HP LaserJet III (contains a PDP 25-in-One cart and the PDP Pacific
Page upgrade - accelerator card and PS cart).

Following suggestions from numerous sources I have:

1.  Created a new print server with a different name than the file server
    and deleted the old print server.  All old settings were adjusted to
    the new name.

2.  Upgrading PSERVER.NLM to version 1.22.

3.  Loading the NUT.NLM.

I get an occaisional partial banner and today it looks like the printer
tried to print a doc with PostScript, but nothing approaching reality.
I
I am still getting that 1.1.140 Primary Interrupt Controller... message,
but everyone told me to ignore it so I will, HOWEVER

as I watch the computer try to print from PCONSOLE, the tells me that it
is printing the document .01 of a percent at a time.  This process goes
VERY slowly and I do not have the day or so it would take to see if it
prints the document at 100.00 percent... any clues here?

If I set up a workstation (instead of the file server) as the print server
and use PSERVER.EXE, would that help me if I do have a bad printer port?
(bypass the printer port on the server on the server...)

I am also using a 3Com 3c507tp card on the server.  Does anyone know of
problems with it like interrupt conflicts?

The printer works fine when printing directly from a PC.

I have printed a doc with the DOS Print command from the server computer
to this printer with the same cable.

This is why I suspect:

1.  The network card and its use of interrupts -- probably not because
    everything else works ok through the card.

2.  The printer port on the server.

3.  Some possible conflict with the Pacific Page XL stuff in the printer.
    It is trying to print to the printer in the PCL mode but maybe the
    printer is hung in the PS mode.  Tomorrow will see me do a couple of
    things to check this possibility.

Any more suggestions?

Speaking as someone who assists in configuring, installing, and checking out
PCs, I see a future in MCA.  Unless you're building a really weird system (and
we *do* have a few of those here) you just drop the cards in, run the reference
disk, and start throwing software at it.  The code figures out the rest, as God
intended.  No more playing jumper games to get all of the interrupts
straightened out.  I've never had an ISA install go as smoothly as an MCA
install.  I wish IBM had skipped the first bus generation and gone directly to
the second.

That said, I'm genuinely interested in whether EISA is any better than ISA
w.r.t. installation and configuration.  Or is it just more of the same, only
faster?  I also see EISA in our future, and I'd like to be prepared.  Is there
anything out there comparable to Heath & Rosch's _The Micro Channel
Architecture Handbook_, for EISA?

Yes, Win-QVT/NET is essentially NCSA Telnet for Windows.  If you look
at the configuration file, you can see that it was probably
originally a port of NCSA Telnet to Windows.  Of course, QVT has
improved a lot since then...

Subject:      Warning re: metering Lotus 2.2 w/Saber

Hi all:

     The metering system for Lotus 2.2 and Saber's Meter has a tragic
flaw!!  If you already know this, skip this message!!

     With Lotus, you create *licenses* that grant the users whatever
number of copies you have purchased.  When the user requests a copy of
the program to be launched, the following things (or issues) are:

- a *file* called LICENSE.*** gets renamed to IN_USE.*** in the
LOTSHARE directory.

- I don't like the idea of users being allowed to modify a file name

- If the user: crashes the system; turns system off; CTL-ALT-DEL's the
system; or gets logged off before quitting from the application
properly, the file (IN_USE.***) doesn't get renamed back to
LICENSE.***.  This means that you could "run out of licenses".

- The "guy from Lotus" said, "Don't worry, just set your license count
to something like 1000 and every so often, rename all the files back
to LICENSE.*** !!!!."

- Saber meter has a similar problem.  If the batch file you are using
doesn't do the "LOGOUT" command then you have problems:
     - Screwy statistics
     - Inaccurate "number of copies left" problems

Hope this helps.
Later,
/paul

P.S.  I purchased Sitelock from Brightworks (haven't installed it yet)
and it allegedly "Clears the metered connection" if the workstation
doesn't respond.

   I'm not comfortable with I/O=0X300 . It's usually 300 or 300h (for example).
if that doesn't work, try to get a map of memory (use checkit) to see what is
 using what memory address range. Make sure that 300 is available.

Yes, I know this one well, I bet you've been through every printer
driver, every this that and the other, I sympathise.  Now I can't be
sure that this is the answer, but it seems that two things coincided,
we upgraded the memory in the printer (LaserWriter IINT)  and the
problems have disappeared.  But because they were so randomly
spasmodic it's difficult to tell.  It seems that when it runs out of
memory it gives a message indicating an offending command, when in
fact, it's because it doesn't have enough memory to execute the
command.  We upgraded from 2 to 4 meg.

I was interested in any info about Pegasus Mail for Windows.  Several
departments here use Pegasus Mail and were curious about a Windows
version.  Thanks.

              19 Nov 1992 10:09:10 EST from <mtsjej@GSUSGI2.GSU.EDU>

I have a TrippLite UNISON on-line UPS and have been unable to get it to
"talk back" to the server via the serial port using Ocean Isle Software's
Network Monitor NLM (v. 1.9).  I have a ZEOS 486-33 EISA machine.

I suspect my problem is the serial port (The mouse is plugged into the
other one.).  ZEOS apparently had some problem with their original I/O
card in this machine (StarTech chip) working with printers on a NW network
via the parallel port on the card.  Maybe the problem carried over to the
serial port?

Sometimes I/O which works perfectly (if that is possible... B-( ) on an
MS-DOS system does not work correctly with NetWare....
