Your local dealer was talking about Netware NFS. Yes it is about $5k retail
but it has had alot of work put into it.

1) It allows any OS that supports SUN NFS to mount a Novell volume/dir to
the local OS directory. When I say OS it usually is Unix but there others
like VMS and MVS that can support NFS. This will allow the NON Novell OS
structures the ability to transparently share file resources with the Novell
server. As for backing up the netware server through the backup mechanism on
a Unix host it is not advisable because the only portion that would be possible
to backup would be the volume/directory you have exported on the Netware
Server and Novell does not recommend that you export the SYS volume due to possible down time by opening up your novell "internals" to foreign machines.

2) It allows the ability for UNIX or any LPD printing supported hosts to 
   print to the Netware server and Novell users to print to any LPD
   supported printing hosts.

3) It gives remote console ability from Xwindow workstations.

4) It offers a FTP server for the Netware server.

So this is what your dealer was reluctant to tell you I guess.

I've got about 10 IBM PS/2's that are about 2.5 years old, running windows
over token ring.  We'd like to run them with ODI to give them access to the
IPX network and the IP network on campus.  I am relatively well versed in

Is there an IBM token ring ODI driver?  What is it called?  Where can I get

  Nice, simple and straight forward question charles!

  But seriously, I had problems trying to run RCONSOLE from windows 3.1.

  I was running the latest drivers and I couldn't even get RCONSOLE to work
in a full-screen DOS session. Until...

  I put the line

Summary: Problems with using LoginToFileServer with remote servers
Keywords: NLM LoginToFileServer


Good day!

  When playing with the NLM SDK, we have noticed that the function
LoginToFileServer (which suppose to return you a server ID, so you
can perform file operations on remote servers) does not work. We
have verified it as follows:

 1) Our own testing program (did not work on remote servers, did work on the
    local file server)

 2) Trying to use the login command in NWshell to login to a remote server.
    The login failed.

 3) Compiling and running an example program that is part of the SDK
    (WATCOM\NOVX\DISLIS). It did not work as well.

We are using Netware 3.11 (pretty new about 1 month old)

Is this problem known?
What are the latest versions of CLIB ?

P.S.
  This is the second time we are trying to use a novell documented API and
it simply does not function. It is pretty hard to design that way isn't it? :-(

It's quite easy. Jumper the drive, down and power off the server, install
the drive, boot to DOS level and run an FDISK to make sure the hardware
sees the new drive, bring server on up, load install, partition and make
a volume on the drive, then mount it. Should take about 1/2 hour, and your
server will only be down 10 minutes or so.

Check out the bindery calls relating to objectNames, and Properties. User 
information is stored in Netware's proprietery bindery database and they
have to be accessed with the Bindery calls. Well, you may have to get over
the hype, but it is a lot easy to program once you get the hang of it.

Subject says it all.  We are getting stuck shift,ctrl, and alt states on
our IBM clone workstations.  This really came to bang when one of the 
lab stations had both a stuck ctrl and alt state at the same time, and then
someone pressed the delete key and guess what, the computer rebooted (gee, I 
wonder why).

I remember seeing something along this nature with Lantastic networks, and
there was a fix posted, but we are running Novell 3.11.

Here is what we are running:
Qemm386.sys RAM x=d000-dbff st:m
	*note: we tried using the IA parm, but it didn't work
wd8003e (9.7.0)
byuipx 
emsnetx (3.26)

The problem is only with our clones from Twinhead, not on our IBM 57's (which
have the same configuration as above except the IBM's use st:f for QEMM).
WordPerfect seems to flush out the problem most often, but I've seen it
at the DOS prompt.  This is an intermintant problem and is most anoying.

Has anybody else had these problems?  Anybody have a solution? 
Is it QEMM? Is it the packet driver?  Is it the motherboards from Twinhead?

i dont know how important this is to know, but i am kind of curious...
is there a list available (preferable direct from novell; better yet,

am using, it lists the "current" (1990) types assigned by novell, 
which include the likes of user(1), file server(4), and about 15 
others.  however, i wrote a quick program that echos ALL objects
and their types (using the wildcard object type: $FFFF), and there
are about 20 object-type-values NOT on my list (examples: [decimal]
75, 496, 780, 263, etc etc).  i am ASSUMING all these "new" types
ARE registered with novell (as is suggested throughout the book),
but who knows...  the question still remains, how can i find out
what these type-values correspond to?   by the way, the book says
that 0 - 8000h are RESERVED for novell, and all of the "new" ones
i see are in this lower range (none from 8001h - FFFEh).  SO, i
am guessing these new values are all novell-assigned.

Sorry NW-Lite is a DOS-based Peer-to-Peer Network. It has no special APIs.
