Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has gotton the NCSA telnet software to work with
the Novell NE-2000 ethernet card?  If so, then what was the setup that
you used in the config.tel file?  What driver did you use?  Any help
will be appreciated.  

Feel free to email me your config.tel file.

Thanks,

   Well, i can't disagree because i don't know how likely that is for
   Microsoft, IBM, or FTP, but i do know that Novell's reputation stands
   behind every certified ODI driver.  Novell would certainly go to a lot
   of effort to get a buggy driver fixed.  That effort might possibly
   include allocating a software or hardware engineer to the job,
   although that typically wouldn't be necessary.
   
   And, as i'm sure you know, Novell has a cooperative support program
   which tends to make Novell the first line of support for most third
   party ODI drivers.  Not all support comes from the driver owner.

And hardware vendors pay $7,000 (last I heard) for this.  Seems fair
enough.

	I'm not sure what readme file you're talking about, but I have a

If you have loaded REMOTE on your server this would account for the name
MAGSRV1 showing up twice.  Once for the file server advertising and once

As Marty says, an upgrade to NetWare 3.11 and FLeX/IP (or NetWare NFS)
is probably the most "elegant" solution that will do exactly what
you've outlined above. Another alternative is to ask yourself why you
want the NetWare print queues to be rerouted to UNIX printers when
BWNFS (and indeed LWPNFS) is capable of redirecting PC printer ports to
UNIX print queues directly from the clients. Providing you have BWNFSD
sitting on the Sparc system (any Sparc, it doesn't have to be the one
to which the printer is connected) then it is possible to "CAPTURE"
LPT1: to a NetWare print queue and "NET LINK" LPT2: to a UNIX printer
and have access to both worlds through different redirectors.

Finally, there is this "Charon" thing floating around that contains a
veritable mixed grill of capabilities (mostly to do with printing and
mailing).  I'm not sure if this direction of print redirection is on
the plate but you could take a look on sun.soe.clarkson.edu or maybe
omnigate.clarkson.edu and find out easily enough. It'll cost you a
rickety old 286 PC to run it on.

Waht kevin is talking about is stub subnetworks which states the IP
network and or subnetwork number is identical on two different 
physical segments.  This requires the use of special routing 
functions which a Netware 3.11 server/router does not support.

Hope this clears up any issues.

have similar methods. Alas, I am using Pegasus Mail, which only notifies

Hi,

for my development work I am using the NetWare C Interface library for DOS.
In the manual they state that there is 30 days free telephone support as
well as free technical support by mail, FAX or TELEX.

Does anybody know wether I can get this support by e-mail ? That would be
much handier for me, because it would be fast and more reliable than snail
mail (I don't have TELEX and FAX connections from here, Berlin, hardly
ever work). O yeah, I also tried to ring 1-800-SAY-HELP, but I did not
get through to any real person, only to an answering system.

Alternatively, does anybody know wether this support is also available in
Germany or elsewhere in Europe ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

When I used to work at the hotline many people would call in with Novell and
ask us for the drivers for the AT&T StaLAN 1 and 10 Meg boards. Eventually
someone setup a BBS and AT&T mail access to the drivers. One problem we did
have is that When Novell releases a new version of the OS, please give at
least 3.5 seconds for the developers to get a fully tested and debug version
of the driver writen and posted ;-}. I also do not know what AT&T/NCR is
currently thinking in this area, but I would venture a guess that they are
making drivers available when finished.

(Anyone from AT&T/NCR care to comment on the above?)

I'm having problems with pLan adapters, connecting Toshiba 2000sxe
laptops to a 2.15, and 3.11 network.

These pLan adapters are the plug into the parallel port type (eg. d-link),
with the addition of passthru printing, produced by IQ Technoloies.

After some time connected to the server, the connection seems to get lost,
and the adapter gets confused and hangs the laptop. the laptop can generally
be rebooted with a softboot, the adapter requires power down to
reconfigure.

Does anyone have any experience with these adapters, or had similar 
experiences with different parallel ethernet adapters.

Just a thought, what version of pserver.exe and/or pserver.nlm are you 
using?  Anything less than 1.22 and you should probably upgrade.  We have 
been using an HP 500C with Windows and Atlas graphics for a month now and 
have had no problems.  The only program we have problems with is Draw 
Perfect (can't say that I am wild about the program anyway)- and that seems 
to be because of the wierd way they implement color printers.

We are setting up Windows 3.1 and W3.x apps on the file 
server running Novell 3.11. We want workstations to be able to 
run W3.1, and W3.X apps from the fileserver. The 
question is: how do we meter the number of copies of W3.X apps
running simultaneously. We have been using Saber Meter for DOS
apps, but can't figure out how to use this for Windows. We can 
of course launch a batch file from within W3.1, but this only 
runs in a virtual Dos session, and the W3.X app can not be
launched from that virtual Dos machine. Surely there are hundreds
of people out there running w3.1 and apps from a file server.....
and metering their software use. How are you doing it?

What i meant was "unsupported by Novell".  I thought that was obvious
from the context, but perhaps not.  I apologize if anyone got the
impression that i was implying that the Crynwr packet drivers, or any
other packet drivers for that matter, were entirely unsupported or
that there was anything undesirable about their support.  I did not
