I used silver satin for short runs, and had intermitent problems with it.
After a week of fiddling with it I decided to never use it again.  It's
best to stick with the twisted pair if only for your own peace of mind.

Sure it will.  At least, the NetBIOS.EXE that ships with NetWare rides over
IPX, so it is encapsulated and is propagated across the IPTUNNEL as it is
over any IPX route.

The RFCNBIOS.EXE that ships with LAN WorkPlace is a B-node implementation 
of RFCs 1001/1002.  This can be used over IP internets by mapping 
certain NetBIOS names to IP addresses that are located on other network 
segments.  This is accomplished by adding these entries into a 
"Protocol RFCNBIOS" section of NET.CFG.

Hello Mr. Batson.
We at the National Libary, Norway are using this setup.
Due to some limitations we haven't tested it thoroughly yet. But it works
and in my opinion it could be useful, but it depends on how much our users 
can wait if there is concurrent access. In case of this we are installing a 
NEC SCSI CD-ROM player this month. I've just ordered the last version of 
SCSI Express (1.21) because we have mac-users who want to share cd-rom.

You can get more info the news-group bit.listserv.cdromlan and from MDI who 
makes this nice product (SCSI Express). And you can reach MDI by e-mail:

I am just about to evaluate some etherlink III ethernet cards.
Has anyone had any problems with these installed as odi
workstations or any other problems I should look out for.
This would be very helpful as it will save me alot of time.
I would also like to get hold of some performance monitoring software
(and the location of them) to compare them with the existing ethernet
cards we use.

 Any suggestions ?


 Thanks in Advance.

Is there a version of NCSA Telnet that runs under windows (as a windows

combinations that normally would work from the standalone version of telnet
interferring with windows and doing nasty things like locking up their

Date: 23 Nov 92 15:49:27 GMT
Organization: Henley Management College, UK


We have several servers here, all running 3.11 Netware.  We recently
encountered a problem with some software not working properly with the
Netware menu system.  We were running V1.23 with FAME (Financial
Analysis Made Easy) and ABI Inform, both CDROM packages causing the
problems.  One of our servers had V2.30 of Menu.exe on it and so it
was copied to the main one in order to fix the problem, that of the
menu program not releasing memory properly.  This caused more problems
as V2.30 of the menu software is nearly 10 times bigger than V1.23.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a working menyu
program without using V2.30?  Any third party software out there?
Thanks, email appreciateed.

Our lan consists of netware 3.11 and all work-stations are running
windows 3.1. We are using Pmail to send mail both locally and
externally via the internet. Now Pmail works flawlessly, but we are
trying to replace all existing Dos-based applications with windows
application. I have been told that there is no Pmail (windows).

It was suggested that I tried Express mail. We did; but are having
numerous problems with it. For instance, we cannot get express mail
to print a message to a network printer and it's address book does not
work. Is there anyone out there who has been using Express mail

Are you running an EXPANDED memory manager?? If so, you must exclude the block
of memory that the NIC uses from the memory manager's control. The documentation
for the memory manager should tell you how to do this.

I hope this helps!

To my knowledge, Novell does not allow you to get the password back, it 
only allows you to change it, and ask if it is correct.  I would suspect
that the Norton Desktop for Windows first asks you for a password, then 
after you type it in, makes the call to novell to see if it matches that 
of your User object.  

When you use login.exe and it asks if you want to synchronize all your
passwords, I would suspect that it stored the first one you typed in
at the  PASSWORD: prompt, and is using it to change all the other servers.

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 11/17/92 6:55 PM
It sounds like something is resetting the broadcast mode.  I have seen some
flaky things with NETX 3.26 where broadcast messages sneak through even
though you are CastOff.  You might want to try putting GET LOCAL TARGET
STACKS = 5 (or if that doesn't do the trick try 10) in your NET.CFG file.

You might also be interested in a new API that was added in NETX v3.01a and
higher.

Before the shell displays a broadcast message on the screen, it issues a
multiplex interrupt call...Int 2Fh, with AX=7A85h and CX=connection id of
the server that the broadcast is coming from.

So, all you have to do is write an interrupt handler that intercepts this
function call.

If you process the broadcast message, you return from the interrupt with
CX=0...otherwise, just chain to the previous handler.

If you're looking for a broadcast message interceptor that's more friendly
to applications than the default handler in NETX, you might be interested
in my company's CastAway! utility, which runs as a TSR in less than 2-1/2KB
of memory.  30-day trial versions are available.

At what speed of WAN link does your application (FoxPro) run okay?  What sort
of data does FoxPro send back and forth.  If it's compressable, and it will run
ok at 256K, consider linking the apllications with a compressed link.  No sense
switching applications to solve a WAN bottleneck.

We just happen to sell compression bridges by the way.
