$I have used arcserve and it works fine. We run it on a FS and we backup yhe FS,
$DOS Workstations and OS/2 workstations. It can be controlled from any WS.

   We recommend ARCserve to all of our clients.  However, we have now
twice seen a strange problem that is making me wonder if ARCserve is
100% stable.

   In both cases, the server was running NetWare 3.1x (one was 3.10,
and I don't know what the other was running) using duplexed disks,
with the tape drive attached to one of the disk channels.  In both
cases, after a long period of continuous uptime (something in the
half-year range, roughly), ARCserve failed with an error message
about being unable to allocate buffers.  Over the next few hours,
the servers' hard drive became corrupted (any file that was written
to became filled with garbage, and NetWare's FATs and directories
became garbled).  Later in the day, the system ABENDed.  One of them
was salvageable with VREPAIR (hint:  ALWAYS put this NLM in your
boot partition so it's there when you need it), while the other
was so messed up that it required a complete reinstallation of
NetWare.

   I have not seen this problem on any of the other NetWare 386 servers
I have administered, and in neither case did I see the ABEND message
(e.g. the client didn't write it down before rebooting).  I can't say
for sure that ARCserve was involved in the problem, nor can I say for
sure that it had anything to do with duplexing; however, I have not seen
this problem on systems running ARCserve or duplexing but not both.

   Has anyone else seen anything similar?

We are running DBASE from our server and haven't had any problems. But I'm not
sure if we are a good base to judge due to the fact that we don't have any
"common" dbase files. everyone sort of uses their own for different purposes.

Subject:      Charon40 mail delivery to downed servers

  First of all, many thanks to Brad for Charon 4.0 , it's really great!! :))))
  Secondo:
   I can't succeed to configure Charon 4.0 to handle mail delivery to
downed servers properly. I would appreciate any info from anybody, who
succeeded to make the situation work well.

Now the situation:- Charon4.0 does connect properly to a downed server.
                  - the Unix machine does wait for the appropriate Novell
                       server to be up again to send it the mail.
                 BUT
                  - when I send a mail from Pegassus from one server to the
                   DOWNED server, the mail IS NEITHER delivered to anybody
                   NOR queued, it is lost.!!!?, or better, it is moved
                   to the mailqueue on the master server , processed with
                   the following messages and deleted from the queue without
                   any delivery to anybody (postmaster, user).
  The appropriate messages are:
    Mailaddr: Mailaddr could't Prefer() server CVT
    Bindary locked or Unreachable,can't verify this address: pete@cvt
    Mailer Provoz/Mailqueue 320: unable to process message


                       Thanks for any info, yours Peter.

        I think there is some major misunderstanding here. ODI has no
relationship with Packet Drivers, and WINPKT is strictly for Packet Drivers
(it's a Packet Driver's Packet Driver, with Windows smarts).
        If you wish to run PD apps over ODI then run shim ODIPKT to form
a PD interface on top of ODI and add WINPKT over that. See netlab2.usu.edu,
cd misc, and also see msr312.upd in parallel directory kermit for comments
on this.

Is it available on the NOVELL FTP server and if so where can I find it

Well the file name is NETSHLD.ZIP and it is not where I said it was
(I checked). I am at the moment asking the FTP site sysmgr fro
permission to upload to FTP.NEWCASTLE.EDU.AU. I will give the
location when/if permission to upload is given. Maybe archie would
give another site.

Not exactly a pocket adapter, but if you're looking for connectivity
to a laptop or such via AUI, try Black Box. They sell a P-lan
ethernet adaptor that plugs into the parallel port. They offer Thin,
10-baseT and AUI boxes. Make sure you get the latest IQ techonologies
software for the packet drivers & if you want IPX/SPX AND TCP/IP
(Telnet, ftp) you have to use NDIS with an NDIS-ODI shim.

It's okay.

It might help you while you're a "rank beginner." But as soon as you get
past the basics, you'll be disappointed. I have searched extensively but in
vain for a useful book. They almost always are just restatement of the red
books without the tried-and-true helpful hints you often find in books for
popular applications. Oh well.

Good luck.

The speed rating merely tests the processor speed, and doesn't touch
the bus as the loop appears to be small enough to fit in the internal
cache of the 486.
observered figures :
	speed(approx)	cpu/clock	BUS
	90		386sx/16	ISA

	1400		486DX2/25	MCA

Anyone else like to fill in their experience ?

There is a command line switch wich you can give emm386.exe when loading to
specify its location. the exact switch escapes me at the moment, but use the
switch and set the path to where a emm386.exe lives normally your windows
directory.

Byron Newton
***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ BWARTHEN) at 9/7/92 11:33p
It's the /Y=d:\path\EMM386.EXE parameter, that you must use on the
command line when loading EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS.

The path specified must be one that WILL BE valid when Windows is loaded,
as it will need to reload this device driver to "virtualize" it when
running in 386 enhanced mode.

Jay,

I haven't used this product on-line, but I've tested it.  The products called
ON TIME from Campbell Services, Inc. (800) 345-6747.  There's a windows version
and a DOS version.  The windows version is a much slicker product, but the oth
er does the same functions.  It seems to do everything you've requested a
calender program to do.

Subject:      FAKEY or KEYFAKE (any available for DOS v5.00 or DR-DOS v6.00)?

Greetings to all...
    I years, I have been watching the BBS's for new releases (or old sources)
of keyboard buffer stacking programs like FAKEY.  I have not been able to
find a version that will work with DOS v4.01 or v5.00.  And though I have not
tested my current version of FAKEY with DR-DOS v6.0; I doubt if the results
would be any different.

    Does anyone know of one for MS-DOS v5.0 and DR-DOS v6.0?

    P.S. I want to stay-away from EBL's... I already have a memory shortage.

            (please reply directly if possible)

Michael,

I am currently looking at a product called NOVIX from a company
called FIREFOX.

They have implemented quite a neat solution which consists of an NLM
that is loaded on the Novell file server, and software that is run on
the workstation.

The workstation talks to the Unix box via the file server using
Netware IPX protocol, therefore there is no need to have complex
protocol stacks on the workstation. The NLM handles the communication
with the Unix box using TCP/IP.

At present there is Telnet and FTP support, but the company are
looking at providing support for X-Terminal emulation also.

The company are based in the UK, their telephone number is:

    +44 675 467244  (FAX No - +44 675 463504)

I hope this is of some use.
