Buy AUX for MACINTOSH with NFS support (if it has it) and then mount
the Netware directory to your local MAC. Just a thought.

NetWare NFS list price is $4995. The new version (1.2) offers Xconsole
capability if you have an X station, which allows the functionality of
Rconsole on an X Windoes workstation.

After the NFS name space is added to the volume(s) that you want to 
export, there are some tables that you need to update in sys:etc
to define users, groups, volume assignments, NFS parameters.

The Unix boxes can then do a mount command just like any other NFS
device...

NetWAre NFS also lets you install FTP services on a NetWare 3.11 server.
There is an example of such a machine on the Internet, at IP address 
(130.57.11.140).

Hope this helps,

Please direct followups to: nyssa.wa7ipx.ampr.org!lingua7!steve -- Thanks!

Our Novell 2.15 network has *always* given an error message on startup:
SYSTEM ERRORS RECORDED IN SUPERVISOR FILE SYS$LOG.ERR
This file does not exist anywhere on the network, and we have never known
what the errors were that this message refers to.

Today we attempted to install Lanspool 3.5.  It includes a VAP; that VAP
file (LANSPOOL.VAP) exists in the SYS:SYSTEM directory; but it does not 
load.  Lanspool's technical support says the error message mentioned above
is probably the culprit, and won't help further.  

1. Why doesn't our (unknown) startup error create file SYS:SYSTEM/SYS$LOG.ERR?
2. Could such a startup error prevent Netware from loading LANSPOOL.VAP?
3. How do I solve the problem?!!

THANKS for any help anyone can give me!!  Again, please Email replies to:

The program TERMIN included with the Crynwyr (I love that name!!) packet  
driver distribution for the purpose of unloading packet drivers works just  
fine for ODIPKT as well.  The syntax is:

   TERMIN <packet_driver_interrupt_num>

For example, if you load ODIPKT without arguments, it uses the default  
0x69 interrupt.  You could then unload ODIPKT with "TERMIN 0x69" (and can  
then, of course, subsequently unload other network drivers).  Not quite as  
clean as the way that ODI drivers unload, but worlds better than Mark &  
Release!!

    Well, I don't have a copy to play with, but I've been led to believe
that Fresh's NetVision package likes to have the SPX diagnostics available
at the workstation (for most of the same reasons that LAN Command needs
them). I had thought at the point I posted my response that LAN Assist

Date: 27 Jul 92 14:02:44 GMT

I received a tremendous amount of response to my first post regarding the 
problems I was experiencing the SMC Elite 10baseT cards (both MCA and 
16-bit).  Thanks to everyone for your help!  :-)

Essentially the problem was programs that used the TCP/IP drivers would 
crash something fierce under Windows.  (Again, both on the MCA and 16-bit 
versions of the card)  I could get the Clarkson WD8003E driver to work with 
the IPXBYU.com, but only on the 16-bit cards.  

The solution was to get PKTMUX10.EXE (name of the archive file) 

Host omnigate.clarkson.edu   (128.153.4.2)
Last updated 04:33 16 Jul 1992

    Location: /pub/gw/pktmux
      FILE      rw-r--r--     32768  Mar 23 05:29   pktmux10.exe

After installing pktmux I am able to have CONCURRENT DOS based Telnet, FTP, 
GOPHER, and TN3270 programs all running at the same time...And be connected 
to a Novell Network.

My netload.bat file looks somewhat like this:

IPX

LOADHIGH 8003PKDR  ;Factory TCP/IP driver for the SMC cards, MCA and 16-bit
LOADHIGH PKTMUX 3  ;To allow me to have 3 different TCP/IP based programs 
                   ;access the SMC card at the same time.

A file PKTDRV.com must be loaded before you access any TCP/IP program.  
Read the .DOC on how to set this up.  I have a batch file that loads this 
for all of my DOS based TCP/IP programs when I am in Windows.  

I can then start Windows and everything is happy.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Date: 23 Jul 92 01:31:47 GMT
Organization: Computer Services Centre, C.U.H.K.

Hi everybody, I'm implementing a PC LAN for student user and 
have the following question, would anyone see this help me.

The first question is: (posted before)
=====================

I have a printing problem under the 
Novell NetWare 3.11. The set up is as follows:
There are multiple work stations captured the print output to a print 
Queue -- Q1 say. A print server PS1 servicing the Q1 is configured to 
have two serial printers connected to COM1 & COM2. 
(Both are EPSON LX 800 and have the same configurtion.) 
The problem is I found that the print server PS1 cannot distribute the jobs 
between these two printers. It always sent print data to the COM1's printer,
and let the other idle. The print server screen on the file server 
always display "waiting for job in the COM2 printer 's box. 
If I switch off COM1's printer, the printer server can detect the 
printer is offline but still don't sent job to COM2's printer.
Am I missing something or can anyone help me to set the print server 
so that there are multiple printers serving one queue. 
(The user don't need to know which printer is busy)

The second question is:
======================

Is there any package (public domain or commerical)
that enable me to charge the user for their printing job on HP Laserjet III. 
I don't want to use novell's account  features as there are about 
4000+ account.

Thank in advance.

Back in those 4.77 MHz PC days, my group did some excellent work
on PC server optimization code.  We found a PC could checksum
only about 300 kBytes/s and so the best checksumed i/o performance 
using unravelled loops and DMA to output to the card was about 
150 kBytes/s.  These are off the top of my head, but are correct 
give or take 50% and they give some insight into Novell's 
predicament in the mid eighties.

But why do I bring this up...  well Larry adds:

>Here's the the gas....consider how the world might have been if

Yes, the potential performance from the PC server was pretty shabby,
but the Unix world wasn't a heck of a lot better with UNCHECKSUMMED
NFS!  And neither were all (PC)NFS suppliers quick to add checksums
to their code at the cost of performance!  Carl Beame's occasional
posts of who shipped with checksums disabled were a good reminder
that many other PC-networkers were working from the same assumptions
as Novell.

I'm not certain what has inspired the recurring thread of Novell and
Excellan history which has been so prevalent over these last few
weeks.  But it hasn't sounded like summer porch reminiscing, is 
there some motive to the last dozen FTP posts or am I reading too
much into them?

I technically agree. However, the 'problem' with inhertied rights mask is  
that hey don't show up at a lot of places like the trustee assignments do.  
What happens is that you could easily forget a few IRM here and there and  
you'll end up wondering wy certain rights simply disappear.

This could be my personal problem, but just be aware of that.

Just my $.02 worth :-)

I seem to recall dealing with this problem once. In our case, the problem
was that the computer had a *very* old copy of NET.COM. 

Try updating him to the latest IPX, and NETX.

Date: 28 Jul 92 00:21:04 GMT
Organization: Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA

Hello out there. I recently purchased Netware NFS 1.2 and enabled
the feature which allows Netware clients to print to printers
on UNIX. I was able to nprint any file  (text or postscript), but
when I try printing from Windows, it doesn't seem to want to work.
I have as my destination printer an Apple II NTX Laser Writer. The
file being printed actually gets placed in the UNIX print queue but
doesn't get printed. Here's what it looks like when I run lpq:

1st iteration:
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active edmund     427  LST:                                  2847 bytes

2nd iteration:
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active edmund     427  LST:                                    0 bytes

3rd iteration:
no entries

Apparently UNIX receives the file, doesn't like it, and subsequently
doesn't print it. The fact that the number of bytes goes to 0 is also
interesting. Has anybody experienced a problem like this?

BTW I didn't have a printer attached to my Novell server to see if this
was a problem with the PostScript driver, but on another site using the
same driver, it was able to print to a printer attached to a Novell
server with no problem.

Yes, Burst mode will only function when both parts are implemented.
Pburst.NLM on every server you won't burst connectivity and Bnetx.com

This is only available through Updates and Upgrades for $30 or through

Right. Lets not forget that OSPF and support for variable length subnet
masks within a single IP subnet will ease the strain a little too. What
your asking for is so called "BROUTER" functionality though (I think?).
If we were to do something like this (and we might even be, I don't work
in that group and am currently in possession of little inside information
on this subject) then I'm sure we'd be undertaking something that was
quite a bit more than just an "IP Bridge".

Looking for the Ultrastor 12(F) ESDI controller driver for NetWare v3.11
If anyone out there has it and could email it or if they know where
I could download it (either FTP or BBS) that would be great!  Thanks
for your help.
