Well, 5 minutes are up!  Sorry, after posting, I realized that you
probably don't have the ability to make your own NLMs (need to
WATCOM compiler).  I cranked-out the code to DELBIND.NLM (source code
is listed below) and will e-mail it to you uudecoded.

( I also realized that bindary is spelled bindEry! (-: ).

BY THE WAY--this is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NLM to just leave
laying around!!  Once you load it from the console, you will
hear two beeps (bindery close, bindery open) and YOUR BINDERY
WILL BE RE-CREATED FROM SCRATCH--with the resulting loss
of ALL YOUR BINDERY OBJECTS (user accounts, etc.) -- No
Questions Asked!!!!

If you have any questions/problems, just e-yell.

The source code to DEBLIND.C follows:

/* DELBIND.C */
/* Last Updated: 01-26-1993 bjo (/
#include "errno.h"
#include "sys\stat.h"
main()
        {

        chmod("SYS:\\SYSTEM\\NET$PROP.SYS", S_IWRITE | S_IREAD);
        chmod("SYS:\\SYSTEM\\NET$VAL.SYS", S_IWRITE | S_IREAD);

        if (ccode = unlink("SYS:\\SYSTEM\\NET$OBJ.SYS"))

Subject:      PrintServs

  Hello Netters,

  I have a question for you folks.   I am running Netware 3.11.  When using
 PCONSOLE, under Available Options, choose Print Queue Information, I then
 pick a Print Queue,  go into Print Queue Information and select Currently
 Attached Server.  Upon do that, the left hand side will give the name of
 the printserver, but to the right there are numbers.  "126" to be exact.
 I am having a problem with one of my remote printers, and when I look to
 see its attached server, it will give me the proper name, but it does
 not always give numeric "126", sometimes it reads "081" etc etc.

 I have hunted high and low in the manuals for an explanation of these
 numeric values, but to no avail.  Anybody out there have a clue?


  Please send to me directly.   Many thanx for your help.
    -Gregory

I just got my HP 4 set up yesterday in Queue Server mode.  It was easy
but...
1) PCONFIG kept telling me I wasn't connected to the network even though I
was logged in as Supervisor at the time.  I had to reboot my station with
plain IPX/NETX instead of the ODI drivers.

2) I'm having trouble getting the Windows 3.1 postscript driver for the
printer to print the WordPerfect printer.tst file (the Print Attributes
cell just prints the top of the letters P, i and t).

Not a big deal but I hate to see a product have no reported problems (makes
me think no one is actually using it).

I allways get the information

where user ist the login name, but not the real name. 

The "documentation" mentions a -w and -l switch, but the NLM seems to ignore 
both switches.

Any hints ?

Subject:      What does SPEED rating really mean?

I am curious as to what the NetWare 3.11 console command SPEED really measures.
I have a new 80486/50MHz server which has two switchable CPU speeds, 50MHz and
8MHz. The SPEED commands gives a rating of 118 at 8MHz and 1372 at 50MHz.

I wondered what effect switching the server CPU speed would have on response
times at my PC. I run Windows from the server so I measured the time to load
Windows and various applications. Well, there was not an iota of difference in
the times whatever the server CPU speed was set to. (eg. load Windows in
standard mode = 17sec, load Windows in enhanced mode = 29 sec, load Excel =
20sec.). This made me wonder what difference server CPU speed does make, and
whether it makes any difference at all to response times seen by a user.

Can anybody explain what the REAL relevance of the SPEED rating is (I know it
is a combination of CPU speed/type and wait states), and whether switching
server CPU speeds can have a noticeable effect on response times as seen by a
user?

One oddity of managing an Appletalk network of any sort (real or Novell!)
is that many Mac applications won't install on a network volume. Word 5.0
certainly doesn't. The solution is to install any such program on a local
hard disk and then copy it to the server volume. Nuisance but it works..

I get fine response from 5 simultaneous users of the program; Pagemaker
might be more contentious but if the number of simultaneous users is small
it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I would re-echo Rick Beebe's advice about backup: the special desktop files
created during installation of Mac namespace on a volume and which are
essential to the Macs' recognition of the volume, are worryingly prone to
become corrupted. Repairing them means rebuilding the desktop for that volume
from a Mac...except that it can't be done under System 7. Why this should be
so is something not mentioned in the Netware for Mac manual, an appaling
omission and something that should be remedied at the earliest possible time,
as indeed the matter of why those files are so fragile in the first place.
So, be warned of these particular problems of keeping Mac stuff on a Novell
server and prepare in advance..! Anyway, spleen now vented, in all other
respects it's very satisfactory indeed. Some previous correspondence on the
list suggests that a Netware server makes a much better vehicle for multiple
Mac users than a Quadra...Now there's a thought!

Modem Servers:

Whoaaa!  I have an 8Mhz 8088 successfully running FOUR V32/V42.bis modems
with sustained throughput of 800cps (see below).  I think what you meant
to say about XTs and high speed modems was that with a standard serial
port (one interrupt per character), it is very unlikely that an XT can
handle the serial IO load of even one high speed modem.  With an intelligent
serial adapter (like NPC's other product, NCS2), high speed modems
are no problem for XTs.  Figure this:

PERFORM3 for XT on a loaded Ethernet yields about 300KBytes/sec.
High Speed modem yields 56Kbits/sec (if you can do this sustained, give me
a call...).   56 KBits/sec / 300 KBytes/sec ~= 43.  Of course, there are 
other factors, such disk latency/throughput versus Ethernet latency/tput,
processing power, etc.

From NPC manual for ACS2 (intelligent adapter for four serial ports):

Each board supports four async lines, each line supports data rates of 38.4 
KBaud, each board can handle aggregate data rates of 76.8KBps.  Up to four
boards may be installed  in a PC/PX/XT/PC/AT computer.

Statistically, I doubt we have ever come close to needing sustained data
rates of greater than 76.8Kbps per board.

  I had good success with the Chatterbox using pcAnywhere.  Worked

reseat them several times and had one or more bad cards out of 5.
Definitely over priced for the quality you get.

This may or may not be appropriate to this list, but here goes:

I have Trumpet installed on a NOVELL 3.11 LAN in this building (library).  
The powers that be (who run the News server here on campus), are planning to 
no longer allow us to post from TRUMPET.  We will have to get an account on 
one of their multi-user systems, so that it can be assured that the right 
person has signed on for posting privileges.  The argument is that anyone 
who's ip address is okay'd for access can load TRUMPET stand-alone and not 
have to sign in thru NOVELL.

I'd really be interested in knowing if other sites/campuses see this as a 
problem, and if so how they deal with it.  The machines that are being 
authorized access are in specific employees work areas, and I use BOOTPD for 
address assignment, so I feel that the chance for abuse is not great.  But 
who knows.

Any thoughts?

Greetings all,
    I remember reading (here) that it is possible to user Telnet and FTP over
    Arcnet using ODI.   I have been trying to configure our Arcnet Workstations
    to accomplish this without success.

    We are using NCSA Telnet/FTP and to this end I have been successful in

    error messages indicating the Telnet is using the wrong PORT, or not
    using PORT 23.  All my testing has been contained to 1 net (the Arcnet)
    talking between two workstations using NCSA Telnet.

Subject:      Re: Sitelock 3.3

The usual way these `wrapping' copy protection utilities work, as I understand
it, is to attach some code to the program's executable (either .com or.exe)
and rename it: the original name is then used for a small `stub' program
which when run calls the real executable after making whatever access/valid-
ation checks are specified. So, 123.exe might be modified and renamed %%%.exe
or somesuch; the program then names `123.exe' is only the stub created by the
copy protection program. Anyone copying this gets only some small and enturel;y#
 y#entirely useless executable, and even if they copy the renamed `real' executa
 tableit will not run without being called by the stub and the stub won't run un
 unless
it is located on a file server so that it can check the bindery and/or the
trustee assignments and maybe some private database of its own to see if the
current user or use is valid.

Don't know if this approach is entirely secure or foolproof but it strikes me
as a better one that the permanent TSR approach and certainly better than the
ridiculous batch file trick, something that could only fool the most naive
user, not likely to be the type who want to copy your software!

My problem with TelnetD is that it hangs an awful lot, so I do not really
use it for life and death things.

I wrote a keyboard for it using Procomm Plus, but unfortunately I would
say it hangs 33% of the time or so.  I use it for LAN utilities and
