The May 6, 1991 issue of PC Week listed Hewlett Packards Ethertwist EISA  
32-bit card ranked high.  At that time it retailed at $695.  It was the  
only 10 base T in the article.

This is not really necessary, since the cards all have a unique (default)
address burned into ROM that is broadcast onto the network.  I ran a large
organization with LAA's and I was glad when I as able to get rid of them.
They were an administative headache - and I have enough of those without
adding one additional source.

If no one has these, I can upload them someplace.

All we do is map the keys to send a message saying that the function is
disabled.


    ECHO *[0;114;"Ctrl-PrtSc disabled";27;13p
    ECHO *[0;16;"Ctrl-P disabled";27;13p
      * is Esc char (decimal 27) (most/many editors allow Alt-027)

This is how we do it for the Computer classrooms (Ansi.sys loaded of
course) Students get the brief message if they try to use it.

Then to map it back to the normal print screen function if you need to
just echo it to itself; i.e.
    ECHO *[0;114;0;144;13p
    ECHO *[0;16;0;16;13p

Subject:      Intermintent problems with server connection
X-To:         novell@suvm.acs.syr.edu

Here's a tough nut to work on.

We have one 2.15 and six 3.11 servers that have local nets and are then all
connected by a net for the servers only.  One server uses a 3c523 one uses a
3c505 and the rest use 3c507s.  The server net is long enough that we have a
repeater installed near the middle.  One of the servers with a 3c507
occasionally gets lost.  It also is about in the middle of its leg on the net.
The users on its local lan can see the other servers on an slist, but cannot
login to them.  They get 'server not responding' back.  From the local lans
on the other servers the one in question does not appear on an slist.  This
behavior eventually clears itself up after 30 min. to several hours, and
comes at seemingly random times.  Traffic between the other servers is not
affected during this time.

Go figure.

The cable tests fine at the offensive server and we have tried replacing the
3c507 in case the card was marginal.  No change.

Any ideas?

TIA, respond directly to me, etc...

Subject:      Problem when NETx is loaded.
X-To:         novell%suvm.bitnet@mizzou1.missouri.edu

I have an instructor who is using a program called ASSIST (the actual
xecutable file is CAS.EXE).  The program is a simplified version
of IBM assembly language.  Unfortunately, the program does not
work properly with netware.  When I try to run it on a machine
connected to the network, I get nothing but garbage characters
on the screen.

The problem occurs when NETX.COM is loaded.  I have also tried
, XMSNET3, EMSNET3, along with MS-DOS 3.3, 4.1, and 5.0.
The different network shells and DOS versions cause changes in
the garbage that is displayed, but it's still garbage.

Unfortunately, the author of the software is no longer available
to support it.  The instructor is reluctant to change software
because this package does exactly what he wants for the class.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this
problem?

Thanks in advance, once again.

Hello friends,
I am looking for a non-SNA solution of a remote connection between a Novell
LAN (Netware) and the IBM mainframe (VM/SP), preferably using BSC leased
line, which would support a 3270 terminal emulation and perhaps file transfer.
Does Novell (or a third party vendor) produce a gateway emulating 3270
cluster controller (BSC-3) or VM-passthrough node?
Please, send aswers DIRECTLY to me, as I am not registered in these lists.
                    With many thans in advance

X-To:         SKLEPZI@ssb1.saff.utah.edu, novell@suvm.BITNET

          Well, here at IUS we just got a copy of Proserve 4.0 from
          Tecmar (our backup [now try not to laugh too hard] SUPPORT
          company).  I love this country (really), I don't love
          Tecmar (really).  Tecmar claims that Arcserve 4.0 has some
          bugs that their product (Proserve 4.0) fixes.  No, he didn't
          say what the bugs where.  Anyway, I am logged in as
          Supervisor now and just got two messages saying "Failed to
          contact tape driver - controller failure".  Yes, Proserve
          4.0 works better (NOT!); what it really does is give error
          messages faster.

          We haven't had a good backup since December 1991 (yea,
          that's right DECEMBER of LAST year.)  Tecmar has forgot to
          return more that one of my calls and I have talk several
          times with their managers (big deal to them).  I can't
          recommend them as a company.

          We had Cheyenne Software on a conference call today and with
          all three of us working on it it still does not work.  I
          guess I'll ask for recommendations for you guys now (we're
          pitching Tecmar out the door tomorrow.)  While I had
          Cheyenne Software on the phone I mentioned the person from
          University of Iowa (I think) that had the trouble with jobs
          disappearing from their backup queue; that didn't seem to
          care.

          So, any hot tips on good backups for a NW3.11 LAN with 6
          servers and 6GB of disk space?  Tecmar need not apply.

                                    Thanks for the help,

We're using version 4.0, now that we've straightened out supported/not

We have had the same problem of a blank page before printing.  I
think it is due to the initilization string associated with the
printer driver.  Try turnig off initialization ( change to draft
mode).

After turning off initiliation, I got it to eliminate blank pages.

I have a whole bunch of IBM PC's with SMC Elite 16 cards in them
running ipx and netx  just fine. I also have one PC with a cabletron
card.  The Cabletron card came with a packet driver and a ipx driver
that lives with the packet driver, in addition to the standard ipx
and netx.  I have been using the cabletron card with MS-DOS Kermit 3.11 
without a hitch. It just hooks into the packet driver and flies, nothing
special required.

The problem is that I want to do the same thing for the PC's with the SMC
cards.  I got the packet driver from SMC, and PDIPX from clarkson.
PDIPX totals ignores the packet driver and complains.  If I skip
the ipx part and just try to access the packet driver with kermit,
it too fails to find thew driver.   Is there anyone out there that
is actually using a packet driver and shared ipx driver with the
SMC 8013 elite 16 card?  If so, could you please send me a copy
of the packet driver and ipx driver and any config files needed?

Thanks in advanced,

Signed Desperate.

 Dear Windows users:

     I have  installed Windows 3.1, except for 1 slightly anoying
 problem.  The problem is centered around a Novell 3.11 tolken ring
 network.

         When in windows I do not receive any network brodcast
         messages.  But when I exit windows they are waiting there for
         me.  This would not be so bad except for the fact that I
         receive a lot of send messages (Not all are important, but I
         want to see them anyway.)

         I have checked to make sure enable network brodcast messages
         is set to on, and I am running:
                IPX  ver 3.10 (Not the one included with 3.1)
                NETX Ver 3.26


 P.S.  Does anyone know if Microsoft has a new 800 X 600 that will
 work with the Tseng 3000 chip with 256k ??

Subject:      Running NW 2.15 and NW 3.11 over IBM Broadband

I am about to set up a NW 3.11 server into an existing broadband network that
has a NW 2.15 rev C server. Testing has not shown any problems, but I want to
make sure that I am not overlooking anything.

I know that the frame types are not compatible meaning that a WS running an IPX
to access the NW 286 server cannot access the 3.11 server and visa versa,
however, I want to make sure that it is ok to operate both servers on the same
physical network.

The NW Installation Supplement Manual talks about the differences, but no where
does it say that the two frames cannot co-exist. Are there folks out there
running both versions of NW in this fashion ?

Thanks in advance.

Unless something has changed, I wasn't aware that bootp broadcasts where
passed by 3.11.  They seem to stay on the local cable.  Isn't that the
pupose of the bootpfwd.nlm program?

Would it be possible for novell to make the bootfwd.nlm program
rebroadcast the bootp packet rather than route it?  That way more than one
bootp server can pick up the request?

Check the network masks of the IBM and VAX systems.

Try PINGing from the VAX and IBM to the file server ethernet card.

Try using the SNMP facility on the 3.11 server to see if you can access the VAX
or IBM systems from the file server.

   Hello Netters,
   Well, I have a problem that I am sure others have run in to before, so
  to save time researching I am hoping that one of you may hold the answer.
  I am running a 3.11 Network and I am not using individual login scripts,
  I am relying on the system script for mappings and searches.  When a user
  logs onto the server, the path usually "loses" 2 sub directories, if that
  users logs off and then back on, another sub directory "vanishes".  These
  sub directories are in the PC's PATH= statement.

   The sub directories it loses are not at the end of the path, but towards
  the beginning of the path statement...    Any ideas???

             Many thanx to those that have helped in the past.

                                                     -Greg

Greg,  This has to deal with your path statement being too long.  The
current path statment can only be 127 characters long.  When you add
another directory and your path statement is over 127 characters,
your first path directory is wiped out.

Try the MAP INS command under Novell.  This might be able to solve
your problem.
