Subject:      ICL OfficePower and Novell co-existence

We have some trouble in combining OfficePower services and
Novell NetWare access on PCs. We have tried it on a 286 clone
with WD8003EP. LWP (over ODI from SuperDisk 4.1) was able to support
the built-in file transfer facility of OfficePower, but it took almost
one minute of thinking before transferring the file (with no errors
and quickly). FTP TCP/IP over packet driver was not able to transfer
any file longer then a few dozen lines without serious errors (I used
the packet driver from SuperDisk 4.1).

The strange thing is that with Locus's PC Interface everything runs
fine (that's the original ICL solution). Unfortunately we don't have
any idea, how to solve the co-existence problem for PCI, since PCI
drives the LAN card directly, no support for packet driver, NDIS or
ODI.

We have only two chances left: SUN PC-NFS and INT 14h interfaces.
I expect similar problems.

My only idea was until now, that ICL uses some service codes not
according to the appropiate RFC. It might cause the trouble, but
not sure.

Does anybody have some experience in this field?
All ideas are welcomed.

Subject:      Print problem

I have a text file, when I send from a standalone PC to an Epson LQ1050,
it prints fine.  When I send the same file to the same printer via a
print server (using Netware 2.2), the page breaks print wrong (the page
breaks get longer between each page).

The control code in the text file for page breake is ^L.

Any help, suggestions, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi:

I had a volume crash on me today which contained added name space for NFS. 
when I attempted to repair the damage with VREPAIR.NLM I received the 
message that it needed the file: V_NFS.NLM.

I figure I needed this file to fix the added name space.  Too bad I did not 
have it.  Can anyone tell me where to find it, please?

Thanks.

The programs that come with the Mountain Tape Backup have a program that will
do what you want.  It is called autoset and is used with autorun.  I'm sure
that someone around you will have it.  I don't know off-hand what the memory re-
quirements are, but I don't think that they are all that much.

Good luck.

Well you can either ATTACH to the fileserver if you have a copy of that command
around (and you may need to find it) or if you are using NW 2.2 and up (or have
upgraded your LOGIN.EXE) you can LOGIN /S F:NUL which will log you in and not
execute a script.

Hope that helps.

I administer a 2.2 10 user network part-time. Last night I ran a checkvol

Because the instruction path through NetWare is so short, it makes up a
very small fraction of the time involved in servicing a request.  Most
of the time is spent in getting the packet over the network and the
client's CPU's processing time.  Increasing the CPU performance
decreases that time of that small instruction path, but that has very
little effect on the overall response time.

The CPU speed is much more important as a measure of capacity.  A
server with a lower speed rating won't be able to service as many
clients at the same time and won't be able to support as many services
to them.  Capacity depends on other factors, as well, particularly the
speed and efficiency of the network adapters whose capacity could be
exceeded before the CPU capacity.  With a single client you won't
generally be able to get anywhere near any of those capacities because
you'll typically be limited by the client's speed first.

When a server boots, a higher CPU speed always helps.  Fortunately you
don't have to boot NetWare servers too often, so that's usually not a
consideration for an operational server.

We are using NE2000 compatibles, and IBM Token Ring boards. While your

I have an urgent problem.  I need to get a lab full of PCs running the
ODI suite to communication with our novell servers.  Most of the campus
PCs have 3c503s or 3c523s (depending on the arch.).  However, this lab
has only Western Digital 8003Es.

The question is-  where can I get an ODI driver for these cards?  I have
heard that it is compatible with the NE2000 driver.  Can anyone substantiate
this?

Thanks.  This is an urgent problem...less than a week before classes begin
and this lab needs to be up and running!

Hi Novellers !

Some of our campus use Novell on Arcnet cards.
We are going to add some workstations in the future (in 1,2 years).
But, our reseller claims that he won't be sale the Arcnet cards
and Aktiv Hubs, because Arcnet won't be in use in 2,3 years.
I called an other resellers and they told me the same.
I know that Ethernet is better (we have Novell on Ethernet).

But is it possible that Arcnet equipment won't be in sale
in a few years.

are welcome.  Please, do respond by e-mail to "pat@tstc.edu" and not
to the list.  Thanks.

My boss wants to know about remote access products for the IPX side of
our network and has asked me to ask the list about information on NACS
and such.

1.  Does anyone have experience with Network Products ACS2 hardware?

2.  What is the best multi-port board and why?  What're you using?
DigiBoard, StarGate, or another that's better but not large market
share?

3.  How does the NACS work?  If we understand the "sales
documentation" correctly users call into the NACS and then tell the
NACS server that we want to speak to a specific PC somewhere on the
lan that is running Symantec's PC Anywhere LAN.  Is this correct?  Are
there third party products that do the same as NACS?

4.  Can NACS act as a TCP/IP terminal server as well?

And on another note...

What's the best (in your opinion, again) network metering and locking
software?

What you need to do is delete the bindary--that way, the next time
a user attempts to login, the bindary will be automatically created
(with default users SUPERVISOR and GUEST).  Since there is no way
to log in, but the server is still running, you canl oad an NLM
which will do this.  If you don't have one, I could write/compile
you one in about 5 min (just a few lines of C code) and e-mail it to you
the NLM.

Hi,

NO.  This is not a really good idea for any number of reasons
including the following:

1.  System 7 is good.  System 7 will not effectively fit onto a
floppy disk.

2.  Apple's File Sharing is good.  It won't work on a floppy even if
you could get SYS 7 to boot from floppy.

3.  Some products, particularly Aldus products, like to keep much
info in the System folder further limiting boot disk space.

4.  The boot disks tend to have a life span just shorter than a cheap
light bulb.  It ain't all that good on the drives either.

5.  Hard Disks are good.

I've clearly made some value laden statements here.  You need not
agree, but it is my experience that post system 6.0x floppy disk
systems are not practical.

Please contact me if you think I can be of further help.

Yes, these seem very nice, but they are surely proprietary to
Mountain and need be purchased.

It belongs in the shell.cfg
Syntax of mine that works is:

     preferred server = North2

where North2 is the server name.

hi,

I've been having this problem with nw4mac: A user will force quit his
mac (ctrl-alt-esc I think), sometime in the middle of server I/O, and
when I try to close the connection from Monitor, the server locks up.

I've actually had a few different simptoms that I hope to attribute
to this problem including desktop files being damaged, Monitor
(not the server though) crashing when trying to look at one of these
force-quitted connections, painfully poor mac response time, and 80%
utilization showing up in monitor (normally 10%).

The server is fine most of the time, but it seems that the occurence
of these leftover force-quit connections and the other symptoms seem
to coincide.

Thanks,

Bert
