Try using the latest NetWare shell (ie. NETX.COM) and also try the

Alright, here's the story.  I'm running Novell Netware 3.11
We currently have a lot of people who are doing 3270 emulation (via 
controller) to the mainframe with a TSR program - they toggle 
between that mainframe session and their DOS app (WordPerfect, Lotus, 
etc.).  This is extremely useful to their work and is not a feature 
anyone in the building will surrender gracefully (or at all).

We do not use Windows, and I have no desire to install it (since I hate
it passionately) on >100 machines.  We do not have the hardware to run
OS/2 or Unix. 

We just started telnetting TCP/IP to the mainframe (tn3270 Clarkson)
but I have been *COMPLETELY* unable to find telnet software that permits
this sort of hot-key switch between the telnet session and the DOS session
using network apps.  What we have not only warns us not to use network
programs in the DOS shell for tn3270, it hangs the system when we are 
foolish enough to try it anyway :)

I *ABSOLUTELY* NEED this ability.  I remembered an old product called
Software Carousel - a task switcher for a DOS environment.  Does anyone
know of a similar task switcher for a Novell environment?  Will Software
Carousel work for this problem?  Will anything work for this problem?

*PLEASE* (he begged, on bended knee) don't tell me "Windows or Death".
I'm on the fourth floor and defenestration has a certain appeal :)

Hi there!
My question is sort of simple.
Is there a way to lock a 3.10 netware file server console
from autoexec.ncf? I can do it from monitor.nlm, but sometimes, 
when there has been a blackout, it just restarts with the console 
unlocked. Is there a way around this?
Thanks a lot.

Not really; I don't know how to find that out exactly.  Typical applications

Not incredibly heavy.  We do use PostScript almost exclusively, so there are
large spool files, but each user is limited to a total of 2 MB disk space on
the server.

Novell Gurus,

    After installing Netware 3.11 on a Altec 386DX (the server) and an IBM
PS/2 70, I find that I cannot get netx.com to work on my three other 
machines (two IBM 55SX's, and a 65SX).  They are all using the same 
ethernet card (Western Digital Ethercard Plus/A), and are running IBMDOS 5.
I have verified the wire (by lugging the working machine around), the cards
(by swapping them into the working machine), and conflicts (by ripping out 
everything else in the machines).  They just do not want to work in the IBM SX
machines.  No matter what I try, netx reports "file server not found".   

    I have tried booting with IBMDOS 4.0 and using net4.com and netx.com, with
the same results.  I have also tried matching the various parameters in wsgen
(which asks to load an obj off the disk that came with the ethernet cards) with 
the IBM reference disks by hand (as opposed to doing an "automatic 
configuration" and selecting "first software configured adaptor" in wsgen,
which worked for the model 70).  Still no luck.

    Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Has anyone seen a 55SX or 65SX work 
with 3.11 and a Western Digital card?  Is there someplace that archives 
incompatibility notices for Novell (or IBM) stuff?  Is there some possible 
error I could have made in the initial server installation that would account
for this (note that the model 70 worked with several different ethernet cards,
so I don't think address mapping could be it)?  This was my first installation
of Novell, but both the server and the model 70 worked just as expected 
(i.e. I did not perform any gawdawful installation hacks, it was by the 
book).  Help!

    Thanks in advance for all responses, however bizzare.  Don't hesitate, 
I am out of options!  Please email all responses to boyd@cs.fsu.edu.  I will 
post a summary if there is interest.

This is a follow-up to my own quest for help with my server.  To summarize,
I have an 80386-33 3.11 server with 330 MB disk and 8 MB RAM.  In the past,
it has crashed by apparently creating a file that eventually consumes all of
available disk space.  It must be a system process, as all users are limited
to 2 MB.  Since I last posted, I have noticed some new behavior.

When the system "goes down" (i.e., response at a workstation crawls to a stop),
the console shows a burst of activity for about 3 seconds, then lies dormant
for about 65 seconds, then the cycle repeats.  During this time, utilization is
high.  The last time it happened, the 3 processes consuming the most in terms
of utilization were the Polling Process, AES Sleep Process, and Interrupt 14.
The last two crashes were not preceded by the disk-filling behavior (constant
disk noise and dwindling free space).

The only reason I can see anything is because I swapped console monitors.  I
used to have a mono card and monitor, but the console would go black (no snake)
and I couldn't get it back.  Now I have an EGA card and monitor and I can see.

Needless to say, this is unacceptable.  I don't know how to find out what's
happening.  Corrupt system files?  Bad hardware?  How do I test?  If this
rings anybody's bell, please let me know.  It crashed 3 times in 24 hours!

One way to do it is to unload afp and load afp -cbt

The other which I know works for sys 7.0 is to get on a mac and just like
rebuilding the desktop on any mac, hold down the buttons in the keys to the
side of the space bar(all three just to be sure although I think it is only
the command and option) and login as supervisor or equiv.  Note: you might
have to set the computer to auto login as supervisor(remember to unset the
autologin :-))

You are correct that the mapping is for the entire system not just a per

of request for a per queue mapping. Sun LPD printing is also done

Hi Netters,

I hope I'm not saying the obvious. System administrators can take precaution
from KNOCK, HACK etc., from one simple measure. Just make sure you put disk-

We are in the process of replacing our dedicated PC print servers
(running Brightworks PSP s/w) with Intel NetPorts.  One of the
features of the PSP software was that it notified the user with a
message indicating which print queue the job had completed on.  The
NetPorts rely on a broadcast msg to only say "Print of <banner-name> 
is complete."  This message conveys no queue info, and is even less
helpful when /nobanner is used on the capture.

I've already talked to Intel, and they claim that they rely on
Novell to do the notification and that the "Print of X is complete"
message is not under their control.  If that is the case: from the 
Novell side, is there a way to change the content of this message?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the new NetPort-like
product by Castelle?  Any comparisons?

Does anyone have a cheap asynchronous router solution for netware 3.11?

I've got a pair of Motorola CODEX 3260 modems (capable of 24,000 bits/sec
before MNP5 compression -- which they also support).

I want to route between two Novell 3.11 networks over a local phone line
using the COM port on two ISA 286 or 386SX PCs (one at each end of the
line) and NE2000T cards (one in each PC).

I've tried Novell's ROUTEGEN router, but discovered that it refuses to
configure the COM port at more than 2400 baud.

I found a BRIDGE.EXE on Compuserve (NOVLIB), from Vance Morrison
(morrison@accuvax.nwu.edu) which will do almost what I want.  The files are
dated May 91.  The documentation says it will do 19,200 bits/sec.
It supports WD8003Ex series and 3c507 ethernet cards.

Does anyone know if Vance is still around?  His address is not on the address
lists available from my internet access point.  Is there a more up to date
version of this product floating around?

NONE!  You don't need any training to be a competent Novell Technical
Administrator.  But you must always be willing to learn and experiment.

Some people need formal training but, from my experience, most "experts"
learn by themselves (by reading books, tech. magazines, the News or CIS,
and with interaction with others at seminars and conferences).  Courses
may be good but they are not the total solution.

On the other hand, if she didn't have any PC hardware experience, she
should have had some exposure to the "PC Essentials for Networks" 
(explanation of IRQ, IO mem, Base RAM mem, DMA and all the other stuff
that make PCs "fun").  It seems that most "experts" learn through experience
and trial & error.

Unfortunately, background with others systems may not be any asset in 
troubleshooting PC-based LANs.

Netware 3.11.
The problem is all related around the Video adapter. It will work Ok with any
user dialing in, using OnLan/PC Ver 1.22. Except when that user has a CGA
monitor. Sometimes the Access server will not even let the user in. But if it
does, sooner or later it will lock the Access Server up. The same user/pc/modem
with any other type video adapter will work ok. I have tried differrent video
adapters on the Access server with the same results.                             
Also, I can not get Quattro Pro ver 4.0 to work thru the Access server. It
gives me the message "Can't open QPRO.NET file."  Any Ideas?
