: Novell Announces NetWare FLeX/IP

What is the general opinion about Flex/IP? Is it worth the
$2000 considering that Charon 4.0 is available for LPR/LPD
and a shareware or low-price FTP-server has been announced?

We have been evaluating Flex/IP and there has been some problems:

1) FTP: cd //remote_server/directory works for some remote servers
   and doesn't work for other servers. The username and passwords
   are identical - ATTACH REMOTESERVER/USERNAME works in the login
   script:

	serifos:/home/serifos/kirkinen >ftp katk.pc
	Connected to katk.pc.Helsinki.FI.
	220 katk FTP server (NetWare v3.11) ready.
	Name (katk.pc:kirkinen): kirkinen
	331 Password required for kirkinen.
	Password:
	230 User KIRKINEN logged in.
	ftp> cd //hylkn1/sys
	550-Cannot access remote server hylkn1 by KIRKINEN.
	550 Requested action not taken: no access.
	ftp> cd //sampo/sys
	200 CWD command okay.
	ftp> quit
	221 Goodbye.

2) LPD: PSERVER.NLM on a remote server loses connection to the Flex/IP-
   server several times a day. This is of course a PSERVER problem
   but it's painful to reconnect the PSERVER with PCONSOLE all the time.
   If Flex/IP would cost $200 I could buy for every Netware server
   and avoid running PSERVERs serving several file server.

Nobody  *needs* 600 users but some of us just happen to have jobs
where they are supposed to 'serve' 600 or 6000 users :-)

But what are you talking about anyway:  "only 250 users"? Are you
referring to the fact that with a 250-user license of Netware you
can only have 250 Netware users working on the server at the same
time? I don't see what that has to do with the number of accounts
on the server. At many sites the number of accounts is far higher
than the number of available workstations.

Hi, we are setting up a new Netware 3.11 fileserver with 32 meg of RAM.
The problem we are having is that after we type the command:
     REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 1000000 (from the installation manual) to
get Netware to recognize the additional 16 M of memory, we are unable to load
any NLMs.  When we do, we either get the message "Invalid Load File Format"
or something like "Invalid Public Variable Name referenced".

The setup we have is a DTK 486 33MHz with 32 M of RAM, a 768 Meg SCSI drive
with an Adaptec 1542 controller and a 3COM 3C503 TP card in it.

Please Help ME!!

I've not seen this problem.  If you are trying to do the install while
Windows is running I think you'd have this symptom (loading Windows seems
to provide SHARE).  Be sure to install from the 'real' DOS.

I've also seen DOS 4.01 automatically load SHARE when the hard disk was
over a certain size, but I've not heard of DOS 5.0 doing this.  Check
   MEM/C  more
to make sure SHARE isn't loaded.

Subject:      Re: What are good DAT drives?

One that caught my eye is the 8GB WANGDAT 3200 for $1700. any good?
Is there any advantage in running the DAT right off of a Netware3.11
server?

* * * * *


      I've been using a couple of WangDAT 2000SE drives for nearly a
      year now with few problems.  One hitch: the first drive I
      purchased was an early model which eventually needed a BIOS
      upgrade.  But WangDAT tech support was very responsive.

      Since I have two of the drives (and others are available on
      campus) I don't worry about using WangDAT's compression.  But if
      you're not so lucky to have redundant drives, you may find
      yourself with a tape only a WangDAT can read if you use
      compression.  Anyway, the compression option is switch
      selectable.  So if you find yourself in a situation where you
      need to use the industry DAT standard, you simple flip a switch
      and go for it.

      Otherwise, the extra storage space is useful.  I don't recall
      the speed at this moment, but I do know that that I can
      backup a gigabyte server in 45 minutes.

      We run Arcserve off the server.  It has crashed the server.
      (With counselling, I've begun to get over it.)  Hopefully those
      bugs have been worked out.  The flip side is that backups, both
      the server and the workstations, are significantly faster.
      Workstation backup schemes (we tried Palindrome) tax the net
      twice--the data gets passed to the server and then back to the
      backup workstation.  We have to backup the workstations during
      the day because that's when everyone is here and their computers
      are turned on.  Oddly enough, that's also when people are
      putting the server through its paces and any increase in cable
      traffic slows everybody down.  Thus, the server-based solution
      works for us.

      I hear that Cheyenne has promised a workstation option with
      their next update...


      Good luck!

        Give the 486-50 to client and make the server a 386/SX. The file

        I would recommend against this drive. It is an inexpensive unit
with a pretty checkered history according to reponses on the net. Spend the
money on a production level tape drive and leave the personal/occassional
use item for individuals. A DAT drive is recommended if you can afford
the $1500 cost, else consider the 150/250MB QIC drives from Archive and
the like.

An effective solution, but costly.  If you have an old PC and an extra
network card hanging around, I suggest you take a look at CHARON 4.0.
In addition to acting as a bidirectional lpd/lpq gateway between
NetWare and UNIX, it is also a bidirectional SMTP/PMail (that's
Pegasus Mail) gateway.  If you don't use Pegasus Mail, you can set up
Charon to just handle printing.

Charon is free software from Clarkson University.  It runs over FTP-
Spec Ethernet packet drivers (such as those from Cyrnwr Software,
ODIPKT, etc...).  It's available via anonymous FTP from a number of
sites, including dorm.rutgers.edu in pub/novell/CHARON as
charon40.zip.

No X-Windows console, no FTP capability, but it doesn't cost ~$2k and
you don't need to run it on a NetWare 3.11 server.  It's happiest on
at least a '286 with some extended memory, but'll chunk away on an XT
with a little fixed disk, if that's all you can spare.

There is a command line switch wich you can give emm386.exe when loading to
 specify its location. the exact switch escapes me at the moment, but use the
 switch and set the path to where a emm386.exe lives normally your windows
