              22 Jul 1992 13:26:33 EDT from <J.Mark.Boughter@DARTMOUTH.EDU>

After about an hour Wed, 22 Jul on the phone with WordPerfect Corp. the Tech
support person and myself came up with the idea of changing the Capture to
CAPTURE L=2 Q=NW_MUDD-229-LTR-PC NT NFF TI=20 which did the trick.
WordPerfect for Windows needs the NT (no tabs) in the capture statement when
using the ATPS.nlm in Netware 3.11.  In addition, I had to set my Port in
WordPerfect for DOS to my Queue name instead of my Port name in order to
print.

Thinks again to everyone who attempted to help me out and special thanks to
J.Mark.Boughter@DARTMOUTH.EDU who had the correct solution to my problem.

  PlusNet 100Mbps Network Over Copper Cabling

  PHOENIX, ARIZONA, U.S.A., 1992 JUL 22 (NB) -- Telling the world that
  there is nothing necessarily wrong with proprietary systems is not
  exactly one of the more common messages being bandied about these
  days. But that is exactly what PlusNet Corporation is saying as they
  launched their latest product line XpressNet.

  XpressNet is a technology that allows the customer to use all of their
  existing copper cabling to run a Novell compatible network at over
  100Mbps. The technology is completely proprietary and sold only by
  PlusNet at this time. In this introduction PlusNet is showing a PC-
  compatible half-sized card that goes into either the server or any
  of the clients.

  Company officials told Newsbytes that they are planning to
  concentrate on the Novell market exclusively at this time and that
  is where the main benefits of their product can be seen. Owing to
  their superior technology, they claim that you can upgrade to the
  faster rates by simply replacing the server(s) and client cards that
  currently are in place with their cards. The results will be a
  network segment that delivers data throughput in the 1500 KBps as
  measured by Novell's utility software.

  The company is claiming that you can get FDDI rates right now
  without having to modify your cabling, change your software, or wait
  until the copper version of FDDI becomes available and affordable.
  Each of the ISA boards that they sell will retail for $495. PlusNet
  has plans to shortly follow up on this announcement with
  complementary announcements of boards for the EISA and Micro Channel
  buses.

  The company points to an additional advantage to their idea. There
  is almost no set-up required. There are no DIP switches, jumpers, or
  any other kind of configuration required. The card simply plops in
  to a socket, the software gets loaded, and you're off and running at
  the higher rates.

  PlusNet claims that it will begin volume shipments of the new
  card in 15 to 20 days. PlusNet equipment will be sold by PlusNet
  resellers.

Subject:      bindfix

Before upgrading a 2.15c server to 3.11 using the transfer method, we will
be running bindfix.  Someone recently suggested that running bindfix using
newer shells with older versions of bindfix could be a problem.

Could someone please provide specifics?  What version of ipx and netx can
I safely use with the bindfix that comes with 2.15c?

Any other warnings before running bindfix?

Thanks.
***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 7/23/92 1:06p
Howard,

To play it safe, you should make sure that you do not have SHOW DOTS = ON
in your NET.CFG or SHELL.CFG.  The old BINDFIX would wipe out your SYS:
volume if you ran it with SHOW DOTS = ON and answered Yes to "Delete mail
directories for users that no longer exist?"

NW4MAC 3011 appears to fix ATPS for use with Laserwriter 7.1 but NOT 7.1.1
(which came out with Tuner 1.1.1).

Can anyone with 3011 confirm this?

One commercial solution is cc:Mail on both LAN's, with the cc:Mail
gateway installed.  Dial-up transfers are handled by the gateway,
which can be configured as to times/frequency of connections.

Subject:      IPX Routines in QuickBASIC
X-To:         NOVELL%SUVM.ACS.SYR.EDU%ucivax.uucp@ics.uci.edu

Hello folks out there.

I've written some routines in QuickBASIC 4.+ for IPX packets.
It all works very well, and the routines appear to be bug-free.
My IPX routines I have released into Public Domain.

I have routines that:
  1) open a socket
  2) broadcast a packet (node FFFFFFFFFFFF)
  3) send a packet (node nnnnnnnnnnnn)
  4) listen for packets
  5) send a confirmation packet back (my form of error checking)
  6) schedule IPX events
  7) cancel events
  8) close a socket
  9) get workstation address

The documentation I have on HOW TO USE IPX PACKETS, however,
wasn't all that good. I have "Programmer's Guide To NetWare,"
and "NetWare Programmer's Guide," and while the former is
far, far superior to the latter, they both fail to explore
IPX packet usage very well.

My question #1: Is there definitive information on how to
structure an application to use IPX packets?

Question #2: May I send a dozen packets or so on one socket, at
the same time?

Question #3: If I set up a dozen IPX Scheduled Events, scattered
to occur at one second intervals, how do I cancel one or more of
them, or may I not?

For the benefit of the silent majority, could you explain what the ODIPKT.QA

Please note that this is NOT FDDI, or anything like it. PlusNet has been
found to work well with a two station network, but performance degrades
_rapidly_ as more nodes are added.

Subject:      Novell Shells and 4Dos40

Hello,

running the Novell shell 3.26 under 4Dos4.0 yields an warning or info
that the internal PIPE command (?) is missing or not found. Is this a
problem?
Tanks in Advance
Frank (fb@first.gmd.de)
***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 7/22/92 12:50p
Frank,

No, this is not a problem, but I thought you might appreciate a little
more info/insight into what this message is all about.

Under versions of DOS prior to DOS 5.0, when you use the DOS pipe symbol
(|) to redirect the standard output of one program to the standard input
of another, DOS will create 2 temporary files in the root of the current
drive.

In a network environment where the current drive is not MAP ROOTed, most
users do not have rights to create files in the root of the volume, and
the command will fail with the error "intermediate file error during PIPE".

So, to work-around this problem, NETX (and several of the earlier NetWare
shell versions) patch the piping logic in COMMAND.COM (the resident
portion loaded in memory), so that temporary pipe files will be created
in the current drive and directory (where the user still needs create
file rights in order for the command to work).

If you unload NETX, it does not undo this patch...so when you reload
NETX, you will receive this warning message about not being able to find
the PIPE.  Which is not  problem.

The patch is not necessary under MS-DOS 5, which already creates
temporary files in the current drive and directory (or in the directory
tha the TEMP environmental variable points to)...NETX knows this, and
doesn't attempt to apply the patch.

If you run a COMMAND.COM replacement like 4DOS...then NETX will also not
be able to find the area that it wants to patch in COMMAND.COM, which is
again, not a problem.

Hope that helps explain what's going on a little better...

F-Protect from some guy in Iceland is very good. Will scan network

You're probably logging in and out from a shell such as Windows or
Desqview.  Can't do that.  Must exit the shell first or get OS/2.

Organization: Lehigh University

I am looking for any information on the pros/cons of Netware Lite, NW 2.2 and
NW 3.11.  The Lan I am considering is a 5-10 user for file sharing and
peripheral sharing (laser & dot matrix printer and a tape backup).  I don't
want to spend big $$$ on 3.11 if it is overkill for my situation.  Thanks for
any help

Help!  Our campus support staff gives us a different story every time
we ask for recommendations.  We have already ordered pieces for our LAN
and have  5 nodes that are > 320 feet away.  These people will be phased
into the LAN in December.  We are using Type 3 twisted pair wire.  Can
someone suggest a way to connect all these people ( 4 of whom are in
one office)?

We were originally told that we could put a MAU near the 4 people, and
use IBM coax or fiber to connect that MAU to our current MAU.  Now we
are being told to get a separate fileserver for these 4 folks, and
spend $9,000 to connect them to a router to allow them to use our LAN.

Is there a more cost effective way to incorporate the 4 people onto our
LAN?  (The other 1 person is within 320 feet of these 4).

Please respond directly to me and I will summarize.

P.S. we are using Novell 3.11, 486-50 fileserver, 4/16 switchable TR cards
over unshielded twisted pair wiring.  (We could use shielded twisted pair
for our 5 more remote users since their stations all require new wiring
to be installed).

Thanks for any assistance.
