	Having a problem using the Netware UAM on a MAC running
	system 7.0.1.  Using the ENCRYPT option when loading AFP.

	Have only tested on 2 MACs, the first running System 7.0.
	That works fine.  However on the 7.0.1 system, after selec-
	ting the File Server from the Chooser, and after selecting
	the Netware UAM method, the application at that point quits.

	The regular AppleShare encrytion method works fine on both
	MACs.  Have tried removing all inits and restarting.  Ran
	a compatability check, which said nothing.

	Any ideas?

I've been told that there are some compatibility issues between
BNETX and Packet Drivers.  Has anyone heard/experienced this.  What
could be the reasoning behind such an incompatibility (Back-to-Back
packets was the only issue we could make a vague guess about)

Subject: backups on Novell server..
Organization: Trirex Systems Inc.
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 20:41:13 GMT

I am administering a small Novall network and I am very new at it.   
Currently I have one of our workstations with an inexpensive tape drive  
attached to it.  I have been doing backups of the Novell server on the  
workstation tape drive using an the "Tape" application.  I have run into  
problems with the tape software indicating to me that it would not be able  
to preserve the Novell permissions.  How do people generally do backups of  
their Novell server?  I understand that there are NLM's that would allow  
me to directly hookup a tape drive to the server.  What advantage would  
such a setup have over using the workstation?   I should mention also that  
the server is running Netware 3.11 on a 486.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Certainly *many* are successfully using the 2.2 VAPs.  What do you mean when you
say the VAPs do not load successfully?  Does the server crash?  Does it hang?
Can your DOS clients still access the server?

Please elaborate on your description...

hello.  i am trying to convert our netware networks to pmail (only problems
are political).  however, one key need is an smtp gateway.

now, before everyone jumps in and yells "charon", i am wondering if there
is a simpler free smtp gateway out there.  it seems to me that charon, as
good as it is, is overkill for what we need.

as an example, i was looking at the ka9q/wnos stuff, and it seemed better
suited, EXCEPT it was not netware-specific enough (e.g., it was not able
to route incoming mail to a users mail dir).

what i think could be simpler about charon? well: for example, why do you
need such an elaborate set up.  we dont.  just a simple smtp router.
mail comes in, it dumps it in a directory.  just the one ip address of
the dedicated machine needed for this.  just ok the recipient, read the
data, write it as a *.CNM and continue on....  gee, even a .nlm would be
great for this.

well, if there IS any such thing out there, i would be thrilled to know.
otherwise, i just MAY be forced to write one (urp! yikes)

as an added bonus: has anyone used pegasus.mail's user-defined gateway
feature to send faxes?  if you have, i would be interested to hear from
you.  we have a castelle faxpress and i wrote a *batch file* that routes
pmail to be faxed.  it is pretty cool. especially since it IS just a batch
file.  the u.d.g is a great feature of pmail, i think.
example:  To: fax/<phone-num>/<user name>/<optional company> as the to: line
in pmail will get faxed (with approp info on cover page) once sent.

-jon   email or posting of responses . . . either ok.

Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 22:18:44 GMT

One of my users has had a wierd problem show up this afternoon.
He's on a 10Base2 segement, bridged to a 10Base2 backbone. There
are a total of 10 servers on the backbone, 8 of which are NW 3.11 and
2 are 2.1x.

He's getting "No response from file server" when trying to log into
one specific server (GROUNDHOG), and slist does not show one other
server (ENG_FS2). GROUNDHOG *is* visible with slist, and he can log
into other servers (MARIO sitting next to GROUNDHOG and ENG_FS1
next to ENG_FS2) without any problem. The segement is not over the
length or connection limits, and the problem persists after 
rebooting the bridge. (This user is near the end of the segement
away from the bridge, which is a 286 with 2 WD8003Es running PC-Bridge.)
Another workstation on the segement has no trouble slisting or logging
onto any other server. I can't see this as a cable fault, but there
haven't been any configuration changes to my knowledge either.

Any suggestions?

Subject: ODINSUP?

I am trying to activate ODINSUP and am having only - ahm - limited
luck.

I am a former user of normal NDIS stack. What I did is to remove
the MAC driver for my (SMC) Ethernet NIC, and change the bindings
to it in PROTOCOL.INI to point at the ODI MLID name. I boot, then
load:

LSL
SMC8000
ODINSUP
NETBIND

All seems to be coming up fine. I even, just for the heck of it (and
to test things, of course..), left DIS_PKT in the NDIS stack. I ran
CUTCP on to of this tall pile - and it worked.

That is the good news.

The bad news is, that my "real" NDIS client, which is IBM's PC/3270
running on top of LAN Support Program V1.23, just won't play ball.
It does work (via DXME0MOD) with the older setup; it just won't connect
in the new setup. Says something about connection failure (COMM 686).

Also on the same vein, I tried to run a Netbios network on top of
all that (DXMT0MOD is the Netbios, Lantastic is the network). I do
it all the time with NDIS, and it works great. Here it would not connect.

Does anyone have any idea where to start? It's kind of confusing, since
the ODI stack works fine (LWP4DOS), even DIS_PKT works fine - just the
IBM LAN Support Program drivers seem to burp.

If anyone has any idea about that, I'd be greatful for their input.
Please E-Mail directly to me.

Thank you!

I am trying to set up a Charon gateway solely for transferring mail.
After booting and loading Charon, the first outgoing (Novell ==> SMTP) mail
crashes the gateway.  All incoming mail (SMTP ==> Novell) works fine.  I can
reset the gateway PC and it DELIVERS the queued mail message fine.
I try sending another message and it crashes again.  The SMTP window
shows the message that is being sent while in the process of crashing,
along with lots of graphis characters, then finally the entire
screen goes into reverse video and the gateway is fully crashed.  I have tried
the same setup on a different PC in the same subnet and it locks up as well.
I have deleted the entire gateway configuration on the server and reinstalled
it with no luck.  I have had a local guru look at my configuration (mine is
an edited version of his configuration) and he found nothing wrong.
I read the manual cover to cover to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this unusual behavior?

I am having a problem to installing the Novell 2.2 on my system, just 
wondering anyone know or have the similar experience...
The problem is I want to install NW2.2 non-deicate on a ST238 drive 
using a 16-bit adpatec controller It was working fine, but all of sudden
when it comes to configurature NW ut..< something like that > it just hang
there and have the following message 

abend : Improper ROM parameter table for DISK controller

I try that on the IDE drive use those cheap 16-bit controller give me the
same exactly message. And I brought another 16-bit controller looks work     
better, but somehow that was a bad controller (floppy control doesn't work)
As a matter of fact, I want my NW2.2 on that 30meg ST238 drive, so I call
Novell they said the ST238 is not Novell certify drive haven't been tested
it might work, mitght not work...
So I was wondering if anyone know that how big the drive have to be a server
is it 30meg too small. or some'n wrong with the controller compatibility 
problem. cos it give me the exact same error message with I use my old 
IDE controller on the 125Meg drive.
I am going to get another RLL bigger harddrive ... so wondering anyone know
this problem and which RLL drive will work...

Any advise and suggestion is appreciate.

Another solution is to use a Token Ring to Ethernet Bridge.... 
Saves the file server some work.... I dare say it's probably
more efficient.... 3Com makes a good bridge... don't know what
it will cost you... I get edu discounts.......

Sure we care :) This really depends on what product or module caused the
crash. When the abend happened there should have been a message that
stated the running process. Decide from there what group in Novell Support
to Open a call with. You can go through your reseller and they could open
a call for free on behalf of you, or you could open the call yourself,
spend the money and cross your fingers to see if this is a known bug or not
and then the fee could be reversed. I would tend to use the Reseller. That is
what they are there for, among other things.

this is a rather trivial point, but i thought i would bring it up while
netware 4.0 was still in beta test and this MIGHT be able to get
"sneaked" into the grand program (hint hint, novell!).

today, the sys: volume on one of our servers ran out of space.  no big
deal, but for a few minutes all the users couldnt print, etc.  turns out
the error log file was 14 MEGABYTES large!  granted, we know now to be
fairly liberal with our space given to the sys: volume, but we didnt know
that back when we gen'ed this server.  anyway, i zipped away the error
log file (being the anal-retentive type i am), then cleared it.  the 14
meg free got things back on track.

now, the amazing thing is that when i zipped the file, it save 92% !!!!
of the space.  it ended up just over 1 Mb in size.  so, my two cents worth
of suggestion for future reference is that maybe the error log be stored
in a compressed format -- after all, when you have EVERY little activity
being logged to it (like all the ATPS stuff) it can grow PRETTY fast!

yeah, we should check and clear our error log regularily. yeah, we should
give at least X meg to sys: volumes.  yeah, we should . . .  but we have
10 servers and people forget and this was old.  and, the point is, it 
happened, as things will.    

just a thought... thanks for your time&trouble!  -jon
