I've tried it and had similar problems.  I created a PIF for TN3270, set
background execution, and set background priority to 100 (you might need
to specify a different number - see the Windows manual section on the
PIF editor) in the Advanced options.  I haven't thoroughly tested this yet, 
but it seems to have done the trick so far.

I'd be very interested to hear what other people have come up with.

We're evaluating Novell's new (albeit from OpenConnect Systems)
TN3270 program under LAN Workplace for DOS.
Since it isn't available as a Windows client, we've been trying it
as a DOS/window app and it seems to work just fine by itself 

... HOWEVER .......

If I have any active "Host Presenter" (Novell's LPW Windows telnet client)
sessions running, they immediately go inactive once I establish a
TN3270 session thru the above software.  Theoretically, it looks
like I should have sufficient sockets defined in NET.CFG and I've
played with the sessions parameters in TELAPI.

Anyone else tried this?  Anyone got any thoughts on things to try?
Anyone seen any Windows-based (and relatively inexpensive re: site
licensing) TN3270 clients that run on LAN Workplace stack (and are
compatible with the LAN Workplace client apps)?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: "LSLHoldRcvECB" System Crash
Date: 12 Sep 92 03:53:28 GMT
Organization: GTE Government Systems

Last Friday I completed re-configuration of our "Novell LAN" to allow it
to be connected to our backbone LAN through a cisco AGS router.  Yesterday,
I finally had a chance to re-configure the cisco router to enable communi-
cations with the "Novell LAN".

Immediately upon enabling the cisco with the following sequence:

        interface ethernet 1
        no shutdown

or:

        novell routing
        interface ethernet 1
        no shutdown

All NetWare 3.10 servers will crash while servicing an interrupt with an error
messages that states:

        Bad Packet Parameters passed to
                LSLHoldRcvECB

or something reasonably similar.  (I left my notes at work. ;-()  The fault
is identified as occuring in the STREAM Q Monitor module.

Our sole NetWare 3.11 server remains operational.  (At this point, all make
my obligatory complaint about Novell's update policies.  The NetWare 3.11
update for our original server arrived at the same time as two additional
servers that we had acquired which came with NetWare 3.10.  The response
was "sorry about that" when we asked about a NetWare 3.11 upgrade for the
systems that we received after the release of 3.11.)

Cisco is shipping me replacement PROMs to upgrade the cisco to the latest
software revision--GS3 8.3(5).  We have been running with a BETA Test PROM
set that is several years old.

Unfortunately, I don't think that the problem is solely in the cisco GS3
software.  Although without a sniffer, I'm not sure what the GS3 may be
sending.  Hopefully, someone on the net might have had this problem or has
some insight into the problem.

All servers are using Tiara LANCard/16 interface cards and have been con-
figured for ETHERNET_II.  The NetWare 3.11 server is providing routing/
translation service between ETHERNET_802.3 and ETHERNET_II packet frames.
The only "fixes" to the NetWare 3.10 servers that I'm sure of being present
is the CACHEFIX which fixes a problem where a disk write followed by an
immediate read causes incorrect data to be sent to the application.  (Note:
this problem only occurs on servers with a large cache (total server memory
in the 8 to 16 Mbyte range.))

Thanks for any insight.

Subject: NetWare for MAC Printing Problems
Keywords: HP LJ IIIsi, Postscript
Organization: GTE Government Systems
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 92 16:36:40 GMT

We recently installed NetWare for MAC.  This introduced the possibility of
allowing users to use printers on the AppleTalk network that are closer to
their offices.  Unfortunately, when we attempted to do this all we got to
print were banner pages with a complaint about a PostScript command error.

In both the NetWare and AppleTalk environments we are using HP LaserJet IIISi
printers with the PostScript firmware.  DOS and Windows applications that
are generating the PostScript documents work correctly when printing to the
HP LaserJets connected, directly, to NetWare file servers.  It does not make
any difference whether the server is running 3.10 or 3.11 of NetWare.

One difference in the printer configuration is that in the NetWare environment
the printers are set for PCL by default.  In the AppleTalk environment they
are set for PS by default.

I'm assuming that the problem is that the DOS and Windows applications are
sending commands to switch to PostScript and initialize the printer that
are being treated as errors.  Is there an NLM that is cognizant of the
AppleTalk environment and remove unnecessary initialization commands?  And,
restore the printer environment for the Macintoshes as soon as the print
job completes?

One of our organizations here on campus is about to setup a small network,
and they were considering "splitting" up the system.  Since the two groups
are across-campus, they will most likely be linked through the campus
ethernet backbone.  However, they don't want to have ALL of their traffic go
through the network, so they were considering Netware Lite "locally" and use
the "remote" server for the rest of their access (Sharing files, PMail
and Charon access, etc)

How feasible is this?  Can Novell Lite and Novell 3.11 co-exist
peacefully?  My problem is that I know next to nothing about Novell
Lite.

I have tried purge/all.  The point is that even if I didn't purge, it wouldn't
matter for two reasons: (1) There is enough disk space even with deleted files,
and (2) I set minimum file delete wait time to 0, so it should always be the
case that deleted files are purged as needed.  When it tells me I'm out of
space and it shows me how much space is in use by deleted files, that number
is exactly how much free space I should have.  It is as if some process is
instantly filling up all the remaining disk space with some huge file.  Since
the file is still open, it is not purgeable.  Then I reboot, the file is closed
and purged, and I end up with no evidence.  Any ideas what could be doing this?
I mean, I know PostScript uses a lot of space, but I doubt if someone is print-
ing a 40 MB job....  I was told that if I had too little RAM in the server,
I'd have too few cache buffers, and after they ran out, the server would have
to make temporary files on the disk.  So I doubled my RAM and I still have
more than half my cache buffers free.  So if that's not it, then what?

Subject: redirected partial backup w/ SBACKUP
Organization: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 15:25:49 GMT

Over the weekend, the mail database on our Netware 3.11 server (a
collection of files that resides in a directory called CCDATA on
one of our volumes) got corrupted. Since we make a backup of the
entire server with SBACKUP every night to a DAT tape, I thought I
would restore the database from the night before.  I wanted to
use the "Destination Paths" option in SBACKUP to restore just
this one directory, and to redirect it to a temporary directory I
had just created so I could inspect the files before continuing.

Try as I might, I couldn't get SBACKUP to do this.  If I put
DATA:CCDATA/ under include directory options and chose
DATA:CCDATA/ as source and DATA:TEMP/ as destination and then
started a restore, it would mount the tape, look for a few
seconds in the log and then say it was finished and dismount.  No
files were restored.  I played around for quite a while with
setting include/exclude options various ways, and with minor
variations in syntax (leaving the slashes off the directory
names, etc), but couldn't get it to go.

I know SBACKUP basically works with our server and DAT tape
hardware because we've restored the entire file server a couple
of times.  Any advice on what I'm doing wrong (if what I'm trying
to do is doable)?

Hello again.

I posted last week, but I need to try it again, with more detail.
For those who sent suggestions, thanks, but boy, did it cause a
problem when I tried them... 

I have a 20 pc network, running Novell 2.2.  There are 2 postscript
printers, IIg/f kinds. In Windows, I choose applelaserwriter as the
printer (am I suppossed to use II, II+ or one of the other options, 
there is no option for IIg/f).  

my capture command is:
s=pc110 q=110 l=1 nt ti=10 f=0 b=%LOGIN_NAME nam=%LOGIN_NAME

Of course, with postscript, I don't get any banner at all, but it
would usually print, it's just that jobs just drop out of the queue.

When I changed it to 
s=pc110 q=110 l=1 ti=45 f=0 NB AU   
nothing at all would print. Each screen would say "cannot print"
I had to shut down the lab for about 30 minutes to put everything back
the way it was. 


(before this summer I was running the two printers as hp laserjet
and everything was fine)


thanks very much.. this is driving me crazy

We did it the same way here ... and it works fine with all users.
There are about 40 files in the WINDOWS home directory including the
win.com you mentioned above.

Drivers and all the other stuff is being loaded during runtime from the
directory where we first installed WINDOWS with setup /a.

The only thing you must make sure is, that this path is in the mapping table.

(Besides, this is the way MS recommends in the docs.)

I actually don't know, why win.com isn't executed from the shared dir, but
probably MS just didn't think of it (as they do of some others ...)

Perhaps the rest of the files owned by this user are in a different location?
I think chkdir only checks the directory subtree that you specify. chkvol will

On a tape drive, blocks a typically 512 bytes long. Maximum wasted space per
file is therefore 511 bytes. On a netware server, files are clustered in 4 (Or
8k) clusters. Hence more wasted space for small files. Thas where the extra
file space has gone.
