Is there another command for preventing from server to send message about
security violation...?

Order matters.  The clarkson freeware packet drivers have to be loaded
*BEFORE* ipx and netx, and you have to use Clarkson's ipx skeleton,
which means netx has to load with a number of switches set that ipx
would normally take care of.

If you're using SMC cards, make sure you load the 8003pkdr *AFTER* both
the wsgenned ipx and the netx.  If you load out of order, Telnet chokes
and dies.

Hope this helps.

The only thing the vendor is asked for is components so there is no strain

I was using a kludge involving a PS/2 internal tape drive, an aged 50Z
and PS2TAPE (I think "rather inadequate" is probably a rather inadequate
way of describing our current facilities :-)). For Historical reasons
we have a number of machines with this particular configuration on campus
(its a long story), and they are being used to back up about 60% of the
servers on campus.

This particular mixture only talks DOS (badly). Would I be right in
guessing that Trustee Rights are a kind of extended attribute, and what
actually happened was that these extended attributes didn't travel
with the files and directories in this situation?

Hello,

   I sent a mail before for a problem concerning memory above 16 meg.
It seems now that the problem comes from SCSI express that has a separate
driver for adaptec 1540. So i am not able to load aha1540 with the correct
fixes to use 32 meg. The last aha1540 provides an option for mem above 16meg..

The problem is now : where to find the updates for SCSI express?

Any ideas?

Thanks

        This combo won't work. OS/2 and its clients (including NetWare)
own the lan adapter and DOS applications can talk only to the operating
system. Thus the lan adapter is not ameanable to sharing by DOS Packet
Drivers etc. The quickest and cheap solution is to insert a second lan
adapter in the machine. OS/2 is a vastly different operating system than
DOS so none of the DOS crutches to deal with the hardware will work if
OS/2 owns the hardware. In principle OS/2 is a complete o/s of its own,
with some considerations for running DOS programs by emulating DOS and
some hardware. For just a graphical DOS task switcher Windows does better
by being a fancy shell around most of DOS rather than a complete kernel.
        The problem of multiplexing lan adapter traffic from these systems
to DOS programs running in a DOS emulator is rather tough and there are really
no free solutions today other than Winpkt for Windows enhanced mode. IBM
would suggest purchasing their TCP/IP suite for OS/2.
        Having said that let's look at a special case. Let OS/2 NOT own
the lan adapter, thus no NetWare via OS/2 proper. Instead open the DOS
box and install the normal DOS utilities. Provided you stay in the DOS box
things operate nearly as they would under DOS (and so we ask, Is OS/2 needed
for these applications?). In other words, OS/2 is unaware that we have gone
and grabbed a piece of hardware it has not been informed exists. The Japanese
will thank you for buying all that extra memory.
        What I haven't tried here dept: let OS/2 own the lan adapter on
behalf of NetWare for OS/2. Open the DOS box, load NETX to get a DOS level
NW connection, run say MS-DOS Kermit v3.12 or LWP/DOS over ODI. If someone has
things setup then maybe they could report on it. I have OS/2 on a portable disk
but I'd rather not tear apart my machine right now to run a test.

Subject:      Slow printing with Copy command

A user contacted me recently with an odd problem.  He tried to copy a
postscript file to a captured printer, and complained that it was taking a
long time.  I checked, and sure enough, a 1MB file was taking 20 or 30
minutes to copy to the queue.  Print speed was normal.  Using the NPRINT
command, the file transfered to the queue in less than 2 seconds.  Now
while NPRINT is a good workaround for his problem, I would like to know
what's going on with the copy command.  (I have duplicated his problem on
several machines on the same NW3.11 server.)  I know that on another 3.11
network I have successfully used the copy command to print PS files in a
reasonable amount of time.  Any suggestions?

Subject:      Remote workstation

  Our network uses Netware 3.11 running on a Compaq 386 server w/ 6mb RAM
and 130mb storage.  We are at about 95mb.  We have six 286 stations, one that
is remote.  We access the remote station via a 9600 Cardinal modem running
Carbon Copy Plus.  Additionally, we have a Gateway 486dx/33 connected to
access our database, but all other applications are run locally.
  The two problems we are having are
         1.) The modem hook up is slower nowthen it was with 2400b modems
 then it was with 2400b modems.

         2.) The whole network is slower afer the upgrade. (5 yr old ARCnet)

  What could be the source of the slowness.  I assume tha



t the 486 drains
the server, but its user rarely logs on.  Where is the processing being done.
I am confused about this.  Do the workstations do some of it?  Also, what is
the general throughput of Netware?  Can it run any quicker?  I would think
that the speed of transmission for the remote station is dependent on the modems
   and not the server.  Can anyone help?

Do I need to restore the values when I exit my program, or will it

The college is moving towards a new e-mail platform. We belive that
our Wang equipment and software should be phased out and something
put in its place. Our long term goal is to move to a LAN based e-mail
solution with an e-mail server such as a DG softswitch box or an HP
openview box. However we are running into a bit of a problem picking
and choosing an interim e-mail solution. Some have suggested we look
at shareware, like pegasus, charon, etc. to help us bridge from the
Wang office to the lan based system. However there has been a lot of
flack from other committee members that cannot and do not believe that
other colleges and universities are using pegasus and charon as their
primary e-mail platforms. So we said lets ask em.

how many of you use Pmail and Charon as your primary or near primary
e-mail system at your college or university.

how many of you use another shareware or near shareware package as your
primary or near primary e-mail system. What are these packages.

thanks in advance

Subject:      Server Crash and Packet Receive Buffers

Fellow Novellers,

I'm wondering if someone could give me some advice.  Well it
finally happened to me _ my server crashed last night.  Luckily
the student population is light this time of year.  Anyway, the
basic reason for the crash was those pesky Packet Receive
Buffers.  Here's my setup for some background.

Server:    IBM PS/2 95
RAM   :    16MB
Storage:   2 1GB SCSIs
Boards:    1 IBM PC II & /IIA V 1.0 card (Broadband)
           1 DL/2 Dayna card LocalTalk V. 3.14 (910411)
           Running NW4MAC 3.01
Patches:   Loaded Patchman and 30 or so patches from 311pt9

I came in last night to see my server at the C: prompt.  I tried
to load SERVER, but I couldn't mount the sys volume because of a
mirroring problem (the 2 SCSIs are mirrored).  I used Vrepair to
solve that problem.  I then tried to load SERVER again, this time
all of the patches flew before my eyes and saw some error
messages, but the loading sequence hung when it tried to load the
LAN driver for the DL/2 card. This seemed strange, so I thought
the the patches might have something to do with it. I removed all
the patches and tried it again, no luck. Same problem. Next I
unloaded all of the MAC related stuff and the Network was up.
With this in mind I tried to load the MAC stuff manually at the :
prompt. It hung again.  When I finally had the Server up, I
loaded MONITOR and took a look at the stats. The numbers did not
seem right to me. I increased my Packet Receive Buffers to 150
from 100.  Here's my numbers:
                            Server Memory Statistics

    Permanent Memory Pool:        1,477,848 Bytes  10%   1,473,604 In Use
    Alloc Memory Pool:               95,428 Bytes   1%       61,180 In Use
    Cache Buffers:                9,925,440 Bytes  64%
    Cache Movable Memory:         3,122,800 Bytes  20%
    Cache Non-Movable Memory:       869,320 Bytes   6%
    Total Server Work Memory:    15,490,836 Bytes

I can't remember exactly what my numbers were before the crash,
but these types of numbers just don't seem right.  What
percentages are within the "norm"?

Now I've been reading the list and its seems that most of these
problems occur because of a bad NIC. Is there a diagnostic tool
that will allow me to test the NIC without having to bring the
network down.  The network is running, but without the NW4MAC
services (we can live without that for now).  But it does seem
that the net is rather slow. Ha Ha! I know broadband is slow, but
its slower that normal.

I'm looking for advice, and any that comes this way will be
greatly appreciated.

You have seven free interrupts, so that would be your limitation.

I'm running five NICs in four of my servers, and am not having any

that supports the following items:

     - autoforwarding (to valid internet addresses)
     - uses the Novell bindery for security (no logging into a mailbox)
     - has an SMTP gateway available

We are currently using Pegasus mail to do all the above, but, like many
large organizations, we have been directed to purchase a 'commercial, off

Notework, Da Vinci, and MS Mail, and could not find one to support all
