Subject:      IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter II

Has anyone setup an IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter II card running TCP/IP and IPX
via packet drivers and CUTCP?  We have set up the IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter c
ard (without the II) like this:

     Config.sys
         device=c:\cutcp\dxma0mod.sys 001
         device=c:\cutcp\dxmc0mod.sys
         device=c:\cutcp\dxmt0mod.sys

     Autoexec.bat
         ibmtoken 0x60 0
         pdipx (Intel's) (ver. 3.10)
         netx  (ver. 3.26)

When we try this with the IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter II it says that there is
no adapter present.  Also the documentation that came with the card says that t
he card works with Lan Support Program ver. 1.3 or above.  Our IBM rep says tha
t the latest version of Lan Support is ver. 1.26.


Has anyone been able to get this working?  If so, I would greatly appreciate he
aring of what you did.

    Hi,

    Ok, I'll keep this short.  We have ordered 9 3Com 3C509-TP cards from a
large computer/network vendor in Rochester, NY.  They can't come up with the
cards and say that they are unavailable "for now".  Egghead software says the
same thing about the 3Com 3C586TP 3-port modules (5-pack) which go into our 3Com
Multiconnect Repeater.

    If anyone knows of a supplier that has these cards in stock and supplies me
with that information so that I can pass it on to our vendors AND we can get
EITHER of the above parts shipped, I will send you two 6-packs of your choice of
"liquid refreshment".  NO substitutions on cards, either!  BTW, It's me that
flipping for the refreshments, not the college.

Subject:      LWP/Kermit to do Tek Emulation... HELP PLEASE

    I while ago I posted a message about a need to get Tektronix emulation on
    a computer running Lan Workplace for DOS.  Brian Meek responded that the
    easiest way was to run Kermit... and IT WORKS (thanks, Brian).
    However, I have one small VERY PUZZLING problem.. and that it the Unix
    host I am connecting to insists that it's remote session (my machine) is
    a VT220, and my Unix administrator insists that somewhere, that is what I
    am telling it.
    I have (painfully) gone through as much of the LWP and Kermit
    configuration files without finding anywhere where I am telling the Unix
    box that I am a VT220.  I have even placed in the mscustom.ini file
    (used by Kermit) two lines...

    set term vt100
    and
    TCP/IP TELNET-TERM-TYPE VT100

    The bottom line on the screen, once the connection is made says I am a
    vt100.

    Can anyone please help me with this (Brian, Joe D.???)..

Subject:      Netware 2.2 Logon problems

This question may show my ignorance of Novell ver 2.2 but here goes.

I have a customer with a server using ver 2.2 netware, running ARCNET. When a
workstation attaches to the server (using net3) it attaches and gives the server
name MPVCD.

When try to login to the server, you get:
MPVCD: Unknown file server

If you do an slist, you get something to the effect of - couldn't find server
that matches *. Incidently, this server has not been run in awhile and you get
some FAT errors when SYS tries to mount. Related problem?

Anybody had any experience with this type of problem??

Thanks in advance,

I'm looking at (testing) it right now. It's an interesting Black Box with
a 1 user version of Netware 3.11, double 8mm drives and has a tiny LCD
panel (about 5*20 char. Because it's a file server you can, of course,
use Netwares remote console to access it).
It's main use is as an central storage facility which can backup
Netware fileservers (all namespaces) and workstations in an easy way.
Management & setup has to be done by a Windows 'StorageExpress Central
Console' which is a nice piece of (Windows) software.
There are three types of backup : 'Streamlined', 'Custom' and 'Tape-To-
Go'. The 'Streamlined' type of backup has all the bells and whistles you'd
expect from an expensive unit like this, including a 'Grooming' option
(remove files which aren't accessed regularly) and an extensive range of
schedule options, full and differential backups etc, fully automatic.
The restore options are also great: easy point and shoot selections for
files and directories, using what is called the 'File Tracker Database'.
I haven't seen an easier way of file/dir restoring in many other backup
packages. The speed is reasonable and similar to many other setup's where
you backup 'over the wire' (never seen backups over ethernet faster than
about 4 MB/s, backup IN fileservers normally doubles or triples backup
speed).

All in all it looks -IMO- like an interesting addition to the network
backup world. (It's version 1.0 and runs on Windows and Netware and it
didn't crash till now ! Amazing! ) It has several things which I haven't
seen in other backup systems. There are also things which could be added.
My wishlist (till now) would be:
- a DOS 'Central Console' (now it's windows ONLY!),
- capable of running the software without the 'Storage Box' (which looks
like an 486 fileserver with integrated tape units)
- DAT units instead of 8mm units (this COULD speed up restore somewhat)

This is just a short impression as I'm still busy testing.
If you have any questions mail me directly, because I'm not able (no time)
to read all the list mail.

At first it was only noticed on Zenith machines, but now IBM and

Has anyone heard of a virus which erases the cursor?  is it new?
(Obviously the SET PROMPT command does nothing...)
Any other suggestions on what might be going on?

SLIP introduces additional overhead compared to direct dial-in.  This 
performance loss is severe on slow modems (2400 baud or less) and there 
the gained functionality is questionable EXCEPT for the introduction of
error detection/recovery inherent in TCP.  

CSLIP offers an improvement in performance and all the functionality but 
it is not available in all the TCP clients.  It would be nice to incorporate
the CSLIP functionality into ETHERSLIP, but it is a formidable task.

We use this extensively and are now phasing out PC-ANYWHERE due to the 
popularity and simplicity of this service.  But less than 1% of users come 
in through slip, most of our users call in to the terminal server in terminal 
mode and use Everywhere Access's KERMIT file tranfer functionality instead.

  Definitely ArcServe software from Cheyenne Software.  Then pick a
supported SCSI adapter and tape drive (many to choose from.)
  ArcServe is server based (they also have a low cost Solo version for
workstations.)  It runs as a process on the server, so you start it and
can log off (maintaining security.)  It also handles all tape librarian
functions, can automatically archive and prune old files, mirror volumes
between servers (poor man's SFT III?) and backup your workstation local
HDs.

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 1/08/93 12:53 PM
Christoph,

FWIW, I haven't seen any drastic changes in the APIs that would cause a
problem like this.

When the new security stuff is implemented, the LoginToFileServer() APIs
will no longer work, and so far, I don't think Novell has released any
updated APIs to developers (I haven't asked in a few weeks), but that
shouldn't cause a connection to be broken.

We sell a chat program...and it still works just fine.

If the network connection is broken...does it lockup with an error sending
or receiving on the network?  If so, I'd bet that the program is making a
Get Connection Information call specifying a reply buffer of only 63 bytes,
when it should be 64 (this is a documentation anomoly in many of the API
reference sources).  Its weird...but with different IPX and NETX
combinations, specifying only the 63 byte reply buffer can cause these
abort, retry errors and kill your connection.

Subject:      Server crashing during backups (Maynard DAT)

I've got a really frustrating problem.  The setup is as follows:

  Maynard DAT backup with SCSI I/F in a 386 PC. 10BaseT NIC,
  set for non-dma.  verifed that there are no interrupt/address/etc
  conflicts.

  ALR Powerflex 486 Server, 16 mb mem, 1.3gb Maxtor panther, about
  50% full

The first time is run the maynard software to do a backup, the server
crashes at some point.  Not always on the same file.  The console displays
the abend screen with stack dumps.  two abends are shown, both for the
same process. one error is 0030000, the other 019000.

The workstation displays a  'Error on device NETWORK...' aborting from
the error restores the workstation, except for the network attachment
of course.

shutting off the server power, and restarting the server, brings it back
ok.  After the server is up again, if I then start a backup, it will run
thru completion normally.

The scenario is ALWAYS the same.  does'nt seem to matter how many people
are on the network, 0, 1, or twenty, etc.  Crashes when first started,
runs great after the server is re-booted.

I would really like to get this working, as you can imagine.  Maynard T.S
dept is no help. ie clueless!

Anything I'm overlooking ? parameters for .NCF ?  All help appreciated.
Either post to list or email direct & I'll summarize

Well I would just go through the standard stuff.  Run Vrepair.  Run Bindfix.
Regen the NET$OS.EXE (or whatever it is called if it has changed).  See if that
helps.  Also for the heck of it you might want to make sure you don't have any
hardware problems with the server.

Novell has fixed the problem and is in final testing of a new
