According to the Netware NFS docs, when printing from (an RS6000 under AIX)
unix to a Novell print queue, you cannot disable banners IN UNIX. Is it
possible to disable banners in Netware? (ie for user GUEST)?

==============================================================================
Hi, and happy birthday to 1/365 of readers...

We have Netware 3.11 running IPX for several DOS workstations on an ethernet
spine (via NE2000), and a localtalk spine supporting several Macintoshes.
This is done with Netware for Macintosh v3.011 and a Dayna DL2000 card.

I have added WorkPlace for DOS to our DOS machines, and installed the IP
NLM in our server, and can now run telnet sessions to other hosts on a
third network (running on a Dowty PC 0115 card).  In other words, our server
is acting as an IP bridge...

So far so good, so I then purchased WorkPlace for Macintosh, hoping that I
would be able to do the same from the Macs... sigh... I cannot seem to bind
IP to the DL2000 board.

It seems very difficult to get Dayna data here in the UK (contact addresses
welcomed!) so:

1) Am I using the current DL2000 driver? (V3.14)

2) When I try to load a second copy of the DL2000 driver NLM for IP use
   (the way I do for the NE2000, say), I get error messages.  It won't
   reload with the same port address/interrupt values.

3) If I ignore this, and try to bind IP anyway (in addition to the Appletalk
   protocol already in use) I get a LOCALTALK NOT RECOGNISED message.

4) Then I get a FATAL ERROR: NO PROTOCOL ID FOR IP ON THAT MEDIA. on
   reading the Supervisor's Guide to TCP/IP Transport, I found that I
   needed to PROTOCOL REGISTER.  Without proper manuals, I just invented
   a couple of ID numbers for IP and ARP (999 and 9999!) and at least
   didnt get the FATAL ERROR.  However, I couldnt get the card to
   do the routing business (couldnt even ping its address from my DOS
   machines).  And TCPCON seemed to give the NE2000 statistics if I
   enquired about the DL2000 board.  And then the board stopped
   working with APPLETALK, and our Macs all crashed.  And how we all
   laughed...

5) Can I do this anyway?  If not, why not?  What do I offer our
   Mac users?

Oh well, here in eternal hope,

Allan Green

OK...so a prof here has a new Zenith Z-Note 325L.  He got this because
it had an ethernet adaptor (among onther reasons).  Now we find that
we know nothing about the adaptor other than the odi drivers supplied
work.  But we wish to use a packet driver to be able to run tcp/ip 
applications like Trimpet News and Kermit - both rarp-served.

Can anyone tell me what the ethernet adaptor is and how to find out its
settings so I can identify the correct packet driver and install it?

Thanks in advance...

There's a lot of USENET interest in the new RAID 7s from local RAID
vendor, Storage Computer, in Nashua, New Hampshire.  (Tel. 603-880-3005)
Their R&D management email address is RAID7@World.std.com.  There has
recently been a lot of discussion on the peripherals news groups about
the advantages of RAID 7 over the earlier RAIDs, and Storage Computer R&D
just posted a lengthy, detailed technical report on RAID 7.  You might want
to take a look at that.  I don't have any pricing information which you
request, but they have test reports showing they are a price/performance
leader versus RAID 4s & RAID 5s, etc.  Their RAID 7 disk array platform has
recently been favorably reviewed in Open Systems Today, Computer Technology
Reviews, and the leading iX magazine in Germany.  You might want to read
those reviews.  (Storage Technology's big ICEBERG RAID might be of interest
too, but I think it's still not ready; they've been delayed by a lot of
R&D problems.  ICEBERG is probably too big for most Novell LANs, anyway.)

	Is Token Ring, as the name suggests, a ring topology?  A general

	topology.

	What is the preferred network OS for Token Ring?

	Can UNIX PCs and Suns be connected on a Token Ring Network?

	Is it possible to run NetWare 3.11 or Microsoft LAN Manager on a Token
	Ring?

	Is it possible to establish a link or router between a Token Ring LAN
	and an Ethernet/Netware LAN?

	Please excuse the marginal relevance.  Also please reply by email to

Your teacher did not place the BACKOUT.TTS file on the server, but NetWare 
did because of the Transaction Tracking System (TTS) that is enabled on the 
file server.

As far as a "backdoor", there is no such thing that can be setup during 
installation.  You can create other SUPERVISOR equivalent accounts, but this 
is not a backdoor.

I am sorry, but I failed to mention the content of this elaborate story.  The
following is just a jist of what I understand the article is talking about:

Way way back before Novell got started there were four students and a
professor.  Supposedly this is when the idea of the protocols and definition of
routines was discussed in an University openly.  Supposedly three students went
off and worked on the company to develop what is now NOVELL, and Roger Billings
another student supposedly went off and did his little thing.  He managed to
apply for patents and was refused because ??? - and at the same time the three
students that are now at NOVELL working were working on supposedly the same
information.  Well as it sounds, it appeared that Roger Billings got a patent
on the same stuff Novell was working on and then Novell got a patent supposedly
or something.  Now, Roger is suing Novell for the infringement, etc.  For a
complete story of this please read the article, much more clear.  The lawyers
do say that Roger has a good case and might win, but the outcome - corporate
shutdown, buyout, ???

Hi, will someone help me with this:

My system login script defines 13 drive search mappings (L thru Z excluding 
M and X), and drives F, G, H, M and X are mapped to NetWare drives.  However,
when the user attempts to access drive Q, he discovers that drive Q is mapped 
into C:\.  The directory he intends to access became drive R, and all search
mappings are accordingly pushed down.  This happens intermittenly.

Has anyone encountered this before? If yes, pls email me.

Hello,

I'am using a very old IBM XT as pserver. There is a hercules
graphics card installed, which has a parallel port. Therefore the
machine has 2 parallel ports.

Postsript print jobs are provided fast enough, but the connected
Deskjet is very slow during graphics printing.
Should I use a faster machine as Pserver (v 1.22 running) or could this be
a configuration problem (I already tried using interupts "yes" and "no")?

Thanks

That's quite interesting. If I'm not mistaken, if you do that with two
mapped drives, such as

MAP ROOT I:=SYS:HOME/PAULB
MAP ROOT J:=SYS:HOME/PAULB
I:
MD TEST
CD TEST
J:

you should get an "Access denied" error or something similar.

I am upgrading a NWLITE server to NW311 10 user system.
I am trying to set up a new server with an IDE drive (Maxtor 200MB).  I can

Netware can't find any drives and suggests to load the disk driver.  I have
tried ISADISK (the latest downloaded from the ftp server) with the same results.
Anyone have any suggestions of what might be wrong?

After talking with my dealer, I found out about some undocumented switches for
IDE.DSK and ISADISK.DSK (/b for instance).  Any one know a source for
information on these options?  I darn sure don't want to go through the agony
of rebuilding this old NWLITE server again because I don't have all the
information I need to get NW311 working.

Hello,

I am running the Novell Requestor (+NSD202) on an OS/2 2.0 (GA+SP).

I am quite actively using "Private" VDMs. My problem is, that I am looking 
for a way to properly terminate them after use. Whenever I simply exit,
they leave an open connection. These connections sum up until some watchdog 
kills them. Sometimes I have up to 10 connection slots occupied such.

When I try to unload netx for vdm's, it terminates with a strange 
"version error" message (although it loaded fine directly before).

Is there another method to kill a VDM's connection before exiting it ?

You might check out _NetWare Programmer's Guide_ by John T. McCann,
M&T Publishing, Inc., ISBN 1-55851-154-7.

It contains (among other things) Pascal code that acts as a queue
server.  No Novell API libraries required.

I used his examples to build Novell-compatible C functions for accessing
print queues.  

Might not hurt to have a copy of Ralf Brown's interrupt list handy, either.
