Jeffery Vines has this wonder BUG, when you add a option you must "Rebuild the
Device Drivers".  Go to the "System Maintenance/Add Card Configure Server" menu
and save the configuration.  It will say " Rebuilding Device Drivers" when you
exit that menu.  You must Reboot the server for the device drivers to take
effect.  That should solve the problem.

James,

I had a user ask me if they could copy the address book of another user just
yesterday.  You have a handy utility.  Maybe you could upload it to csus.edu.

We need some software to enforce a password policy in the Banyan Vines
environment. For example, lets say our password policy does not allow the
use of the letter W in a password. Does anyone know where to get
software that offers this functionality?

I've noticed that a 25th line message also hangs the MS DOS 5.0 editor if you
press ANY key before the message disappears on it's own.  I would also be

Subject: RE: Packed file is Corrupt

Well I've found out the problem (packed file corrupt errors) we are using (in
general) Micom NI5210 Ethernet cards, and it seems that intr2ban has an
aversion to being loaded into hi-memory.  The strange part is that besides the
packed file corrupt errors everything else works fine - ie it doesn't crash
etc, but you have to use loadfix programname to run a number of things (pain).

Is anyone else out there having problems with loading banyan drivers into
himemory, or perhaps the problem is specific to the driver this card uses.

On the note of memory if you are after a bit more himemory and are using
emm386 try adding the lines I=e000-efff I=B000-B7FF before either noems or RAM
params, you may not need both includes..  Its possible that this maybe work
with Qemm, but I haven't got around to trying it yet.

We now have 2.04 pl4 of FTP's Banyan TCPIP software, but are unable to get the

The IDE Drive MUST be configured as drive 0 therefore must be the System disk.
The Adaptec 1542 will not allow you to configure a SCSI disk first unless you
load some software via a config.sys file or equivalent file and since Bnayn
won't allow that...

We load Intr2ban high without a problem.  I believe the messsage you are
receiving is due to programs loading too low in memory.  This would explain
why loadfix coreectes the problem.  Another way to work around the problem,
would be to load a usable driver low in the config.sys.

X-To:         BANYAN-L@VM1.CC.UAKRON.EDU

	We have been using the 3C507TPs for some time now. I have been using
them in clients and one server. The native 4.11 client driver does not work on
the TP model. However, the server 3C507 driver DOES work with the TP model!
	The NDIS drivers supplied with the card work fine under 4.11 and 5.0.
Even using NDIS, this is a very fast 16 bit card. In fact in an Intel ad for
their own cards, they show the 3C507 as the fastest 16 bit card tested.
However, the Intel cards are quite a bit cheaper, I understand (and not far
behind in speed, according to the ad).
	To install, using NDIS, just follow the instructions in the Vines
manuals - you can't go wrong.

Gerry, I was originally sending this message back to Kelly Yock, whoever he/she
is...

This person mentioned that they DID have a patch for the INTEL ETHEREXPRESS
 board
and intended on making the fix that particular weekend... I never heard back
if it was successfull or not.  If it was, our college is in dire NEED of this
driver.  We have purchased roughly 150 Intel boards and we're having a hard
time using TCP/IP... In fact, the only way to use it is through IBANYAN which
is a Token-Ring solution.  We realize that we need to use the EBANYAN solution
with the ETHRDRV program, but it will NOT run with a generic NDIS driver which
we are now using.  Our VAR's and Dave Chin are not providing us with the
 servicewe need to get the ball rolling.  If you or anyone else can point me in
 the
right direction, we would greatly appreciate it!  Our networks are:
Vines 4.11(5) on two servers.  We have LAN-LAN option, 3270 (unlimited), Mail,
and an ICA option.  We're running both Ethernet and Token-Ring topologies....

We are also definitely interested in any new devlopments Intel has for the
MCA Token-Ring PC's.

Maybe we're alone on this island of Intel's, but I can guarantee you we will
 NOTpurchase any more cards from them if we don't see a compatible driver soon.

Robert,

How about Windows questions (i.e.  basic setup) for your FAQ.  I guess at
this point, you can just omit 3.0 and only address 3.1.

The use of himem drivers to load portions of Banyan drivers high

Explanation of POSTLOGIN command, and it's uses (automated login, etc)

STDA services, (STDIRECT, Alt-N, STDOFF)

Server to server implementation - streettalk sharing

SMTP Info

CSUS.EDU Archives

Explanation of the 5.0 implementation for MAC sharing - specifically, the
diffeneces between the File 5 and File 10 systems.

Performance specs on a "generic server"

Things to look for in the "logs" i.e. errors (Maybe to big to handle)


My two cents worth.  Do with them what you will.

I can unhesitatingly recommend that you replace your 3C505 Etherlink
Plus cards, almost anything else (even the old 3C501) will work better.
Banyan doesn't use any of the 505's um, "intelligence."  We saw big
improvements just moving to 3C503 (buffered 8-bit) cards in the servers.
We plan to  move to the 3C507 soon, we've seen it working elsewhere.
It's a screamer.

We are also trying to accomplish this.  We are currently in test phase
with the Trellis redirector.  I works fine with the following exceptions:

1) We started experiencing sporatic lock-ups when loading Windows 3.1
soon after installing the redirectors (ie windows locks at the windows
log).  We take out the redirectors and the problem disappears.  Trellis
is currently working with us on this one.

2) If more than one attemp to access the cd rom occures at the same time,
the system slows to a crawl (I mean a real slow crawl).  I'm not sure
where the bottle neck is,  the redirector, or hardware.  We are running
the server software on a 16mhz 386, using a Toshiba CD ROM and an 8bit
SCSII controller.  We've ordered drivers to use the Adaptec 1540b with
the CD ROM.  We'll see if that helps.

We will also test the system from CBIS, Inc. called "CD Connection".
This peice isn't shipping commercially yet, but if your willing to sign a
non-disclosure contract, they will send you final beta. I'll post what we
find out.

Does anyone know of other solutions that use native VINES IP?

I use it frequently, I thought I saw it on the Z: drive.  I'm not making a
statement on lpd and bprint.
