Subject:      Global Message Handling System

Could the Global Message Handling System act as the primary mail gateway
for a campus with diverse systems?  Would someone really want to do that
rather than using a UNIX server (or even an IBM mainframe) as the primary
mail gateway?

Does the SMTP option of the GMHS act as a POP-3 server for those who want
to use this protocol?  If not, does Novell think that it would it be desirable
for a Netware server to support POP or like protocols?

Is there REALLY a dosup6?  I find dosup5 and winup6, but I've never seen
a dosup6.  Jan, could you verify that the file you're describing is really
named dosup6?

Ok, try this: PING -t -w 3 (Ip address of VAX)  If you get BIG error rates
then you have a problem.

Try adjusting the hi and lo window settings.  Try a PING with the option that
tells you the route to the remote host.  Are you using a funky translation
table.

More info on the machine and the net might help.  Were they uploaded and then
downloaded at the same time during the day?  You also might consider
upgrading.  How about network traffic.

I can't help you out. I was looking for the same, but couldn't find a
readily available source for 32bit SCSI controllers and had to settle
for Adaptec's 16 bit MCA card. It seems stupid to only use half the bus,
but that was the only choice I had with the software that needed to use
the external SCSI devices (ArcServe 4.0 on an HP DAT/DDS).

We had the same problem installing netware on model 77's.  The solution was
to download the NEW PS2SCSI.DSK from the IBM bulletin board. (I have no
idea why they went from PS2SCSI to PS2OPT and then back to PS2SCSI?)

If you don't have access to the IBM bbs (1-404-835-6600) then I can put the
driver on an FTP site for you.

Subject: Re: Server crashing during backups (Maynard DAT)

Out of curiosity, you might try rebooting the server (switch it off
for good measure) right before doing the tape backup.  If this
works several times in a row, then it may give you a better idea of
what happens to cause the crash.  There's a good chance something changes
between the normal bootup and when you run the Maynard software normally.

Just a thought

Subject: Re: NW 3.11 Cache memory problems
Organization: University of Heidelberg (Germany)
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 93 15:37:29 GMT

Some time ago I have had a similar problem on an 64 MB eisa machine with
two 1740 and several duplexed gig-drives. The problem was solved by 
the german techsup.
There is a problem with the memory registration if you have more
than 16 MB. You need the register memory command in your autoexec.ncf.
But if you use this command AFTER sys is mounted the following thing happens:

	0
	.
	.
	.
	.	    /\
	.	     |
	16 MB    Cache buffers
	.
	.
	.
	.
	.
	.
	32 MB


The cache-buffers are growing from 16 MB down to the upper boundary of 
other memory pools wich also are allocated in the lower 16 M because the
cache buffer-pool is allocated before the register mem command when SYS
is beeing mounted.

The solution: Register memory before SYS is mounted:
To do so you need a autoexec.ncf in the dos-directory where you are
starting the server.exe. Move the loading of SYS-disk-driver to this 
autoexec.ncf and add the REGISTER MEMORY befor this driver. Then mount sys
and call a AUTO.NCF with the other autoexec.ncf commands:

C:STARTUP.NCF
	set minimum packet receive buffers = 200
	set maximum physical receive packet size = 2048

C:AUTOEXEC.NCF
	file server name=urz-sv1
	ipx internal net 81ce6997
	register memory 1000000 3000000
	load aha1740 slot=5
	load aha1740 slot=4
	mount sys
	auto

SYS:AUTO.NCF
	load ne3200 ....
	...
	
I hope, that help

Thomas

You will need to get the NET$DOS.SYS file re-genned with an updated
CONFIG.SYS file.  I suggest you get the appropriate disks from them and
get them to show you how to do the re-gen (it's quite straight forward) so
you can make your own changes in future.

We now have rel 1.14 as well.  It seems to have taken care of the
funny file name problems, but disk quotas are still not backed up.
To fix the disk quotas, John Baird's SDQUOTA does an excellent job--
just write a batch file to run after restores.

There is also the problem with the directories SYS:system\*.qdr not
getting backed up.  They need only exist and you can determine the
directory name from the object ID of the print queue, but what a
pain!

Consider yourself lucky.  I was one of the people that had to
convince them that these problems in the first place.  It was like
pulling teeth.  They are very good about acknowledging known bugs if
you call them and ask about those bugs, but don't expect them to
volunteer any information or to cheerfully accept a new bug report.
I hope that someday that the Maynard foks will realize that this is
not service.

As an end note...I've been reading an Info World article (NOV 9,
1992, pg 84) on NLM based backup systems.  The gave Maynstream 3.1
the lowest marks (compared to NetWorker 2.0, Network Archivist 2.0,
and ARCserver 4.0 ) and they didn't even mention the bugs or the user
support hassles.  As a seasoned Maynstream 3.1 user I agree with
their compliants.

I hope Maynstream will consider all of these complants in their next
release.

Is there a definitive archive site for all the clones of the Novell Menu
program. ie one FTP site that can say that it has the latest copy of ALL
shareware/freeware versions AND documentation of all comersial one?
If not would any of the Novell ftp archive sites mentioned in the FAQs be
willing to set up such a site (/pub/novell/menu).
Also is there any way to TEST compatibility? I suspect that not all versions
of Novell's Menu would pass the most stringent of tests :-)
Their should be different layers ie program xxxx will totally replace the
menu program without ANY alterations (ie rename xxxx menu.exe and all current
options will work the same). To configuration needed to start but then...
To only some NW menu command work, very fiddley to configure, horrible
looking screens!

Hi,

I'm running into a problem: We use PMail with Charon 4.0 as mail gateway.
Is it possible to configure/cheat Charon (or PMail) so that you get a
message if your mail gets delivered off the mail queue ?

There're some people here that miss the mail delivery confirmation msg
they were used to from their old VM/SP system. I try to explain that this
confirmation is nothing I would trust in, but they won't understand me.

If the above isn't possible (which I think), could someone tell me how
I could check (eg from a batch file) if there's any mail in the Mailqueue ?

Thanks, Gregor

        I can't speak to the policy of how the NW C material is distributed,
but I can add a few words on the PDP*. The PDP is really setup to service
developers, and it is implicit that there may/will be calls put through to
the Novell troops writing the mainline code. So PDP is rather cautious about
who is a member of PDP. You can talk to them, 1-800-RED-WORD, and obtain the
forms. But you will need to describe your project in some detail so they have
a record and understanding of your needs and how they can assist you. Thus the
PDP is not a sales outlet or marketing effort as such. This registration
process has gotten somewhat easier recently, but be sure to get a note from
you Mom before proceeding.

IBM SCSI boards boot from the drive with the highest scsi id (ie, 6).

However, I have heard and believe that the IBM SCSI controller will
only allow you to boot off of an IBM SCSI drive.  All other drives may
be non-IBM.  IBM SCSI records the drive info in a special place on the
drive and can't successfully place that info on non-IBM SCSIs.

I have an IBM SCSI adapter and an Adaptec SCSI adapter in my 55 and Fujitsu
drives.  The adaptec boots from the drives fine.  The IBM SCSI will
not allow the drives to be properly installed for booting, but will
install and use them fine if the Adaptec controller is the boot device.

Hello everyone,

        I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  Has anyone been able
to get Windows for Workgroups to work using ODI and ODINSUP rather than it's
own NDIS drivers?  We would like to integrate NetWare, WFW and LWP4DOS, but I
haven't had any luck getting WFW to work with ODINSUP.  It all seems to work
until you attempt to use any of the "workgroup" features of WFW (like File
Manager).  My machine then hangs horribly.  I think I may just have a config.
problem, so if anyone know how to get this all to work, I would love to see
copies of your autoexec.bat, config.sys, protocol.ini and net.cfg files, if
possible.  If no one has this working well, what would you recommend for a
good (and cheap) TCP/IP package that works over NDIS?  I have spoken to
NetManage, but their product is kind of pricey, as are most other ones I've
seen.  We are looking for a "real" Windows app, so Clarkson is out (at least
for the moment).  Well, thanks for any help/advice you all may have.  I
really appreciate it.  If you wish to reply to me directly, I will summarize
for the list, if there's interest in this.  Thanks again.
