After Lindsay's kind words, I have received quite a few requests about
how to obtain TeleReplica. Since it seems to be of moderately wide
interest, here are the details:

TeleReplica version 4.23 is available by anonymous FTP from garbo.uwasa.fi,
Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.87.1 as:
    /pc/comm/tr4-23.zip

It should also be available from SIMTEL20 and mirror sites as:
    PD1:<MSDOS.MODEM>TR4-23.ZIP.

Standard SIMTEL20 blurb (may be a little out of date by now):
    If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 via Internet FTP or through one
    of the BITNET/EARN file servers, most SIMTEL20 MSDOS files, including
    the PC-Blue collection, are available for downloading on the Detroit
    Download Central network at 313-885-3956.  DDC has multiple lines
    which support 300/1200/2400/9600/14400 bps (HST/V.32/V.42/V.42bis/MNP5).
    This is a subscription system with an average hourly cost of 17 cents.
    It is also accessible on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via
    StarLink outdial.

While I am posting, I might as well add a few further comments...

Memory overhead on the host is actually around 10K now (although the
program can be loaded into high memory with no problems).

Licensing is on a "per link" basis. In the application above, one
registration would be required for each PC that was dedicated to
providing student access. However, the software can then be freely
used by any number of students without any payment for or by the
students. This licensing system has made TeleReplica popular amongst
libraries wishing to allow dial in access to PC-based CD-ROM databases,
which I imagine would be a fairly similar situation.

It is also possible to configure TR to act as a dumb terminal to dial
into a mini-computer, log in and start up telnet sessions or whatever
is required, and eventually get through to a PC running TeleReplica, at
which stage TR can take over the host. This means that you can take
advantage of an existing pool of modems and telephone lines already
provided by a computer centre. However, TeleReplica only runs using
serial ports (it does not understand TCP/IP or any other such system)
so the host PC needs to be connected to the mini-computer via a serial
line...

Hope this information helps,

Doug.

Thanks to all those who offered suggestions on how to get NOVELL and
PathWorks running concurrently.

        One suggestion was to use ODI with ODINSUP.  I could not get this
to work properly.

        Another suggestion was to use the latest DIS_PKT9.DOS and use
BYU's IPX.COM for packet driver.  This is the suggestion I followed
(thanks Joe D.).  By assigning lastdrive=t, Pathworks uses e: thru t:
and NOVELL uses U: thru Z: .

Thanks again for all the help.

        I just received and installed NW NFS v1.2 (and patches) this afternoon.
With it I now have the new security utilities installed and operating at
level 2 (check if the other side agrees). However, the new PBURST.NLM still
crashes my server with msg "Replykeep given reply packet that is too long"
if I use the new BNETX on the workstation. The server uses an NE2000 board
and the latest driver. I reported the Pburst problem to Novell, and it is
not tied to using the new CLIB and MATHLIB(C). The old Pburst.nlm (v1.0)
exhibits no problem of this kind. My conclusion is the new Pburst.nlm is
broken, or breaks in contact with other common NLMs being active. I'll try
some more experiments over the weekend, particularly by removing some Patches.
        Btw, with NFS v1.2 now anonymous ftp callers see the real time and
date stamps for NOVLIB and other Novell directories. These are the stamps
occuring on prime site ftp.is.sandy.novell.com. Thus, there is hope of telling
old from new by scanning a DIR listing.
        Thank you Novell for the very rapid upgrade of my NFS.NLM material.
        Now back to my own problems of getting DV/X to work again; it hangs
for unknown reasons, sigh.
        The security stuff is in novlib/novfiles. Check Sandy or netlab2.

While the _theoretical_ thruput of arcnet is less then ethernet, the
degradation of that thruput is much less as load increases. In tests, Its
been found that performance is approx. the same with 40 stations.
BTW, its datapoint that is marketing 20 mbps Arcnet.

Cards are roughly the smae price for both.

Arcnet is somewhat younger than Ethernet, and very well supported in all
Local Area Network Systems. 20 mbps is ONLY marketed by Datapoint. The
writer may be thinking of Thomas-Conrad's TCNS - 100 mbps system using
Arcnet drivers.

And I think the author should hold his piece, unless he knows what he's
speaking about. I, for one, don't care about support except from the vendor
I'm doing business with....

I have a Novell Manager on campus with the following problem. 

A workstation running MS DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1, has an attached printer on
LPT1 which is being serviced to the network by RPRINTER running on the same
workstation.

When the user issues a print from WordPerfect (for DOS, called from Windows) he
gets:

"This application has violated system integrity" 

The workstation then hangs and a reboot is required, if another workstation on
the network issues a print, no problem. 

S/W Versions: Novell v3.11
              RPRINTER v1.21

Anyone else suffer this, or better still know the cure?

Subject:      Comments wanted on Ontrack's Netutils 3

We have had to delete and recreate 3 Netware volumes in less than 6 weeks,
the first after a technician accidentally dislodged a SCSI cable, and the
other 2 after a controller timeout error, which we have yet to explain. After
both incidents, Netware would not mount the volumes, and Vrepair hung a few
seconds into the volume repair. Both incidents happened late in the day, but
before our backup had started, resulting in loss of a days work for many users.

Consequently, I'm contemplating buying Ontrack's Netutils 3. Any comments on
this product would be appreciated, and in particular, answers to:

1. Has anyone repaired a volume with Netutils when Vrepair has failed?
2. In the event that both Netutils and Vrepair fail to repair a volume, has
   anyone successfully recovered data using Netutils (I realise the ability
   to recover data will depend on the nature and extent of the problem).

Thanks, John

Simple.  You write to a hex address which I can't remember right now :)
It's in "Upgrading and Repairing PC's" though.  There are actually two
hex addresses you can write to - one causes a warm reboot, the other
does a cold re-boot.  PC Magazine also put out a disk with these two
utilities a few years ago, so if you can get their e-mail address,
they'd certainly be able to direct you to a download site.

Try TeleReplica which is available on simtel and its mirrors. Its shareware
and is excellent value at $25 (Australian) per dial-in line or $A250 for a
site license. We chose it over commercial products for a variety of reasons,
one of which was licensing. The commercial products such as PCAnywhere
rquired that we buy one license for every user to whom we gave the remote
end software.

We have been using TeleReplica with Novell for nearly 12 months and it works
very well. It supports file transfer, password protection, call-back, and uses
less than 10K memory in the host. It does not support graphics (and we have
had almost no complaints about that), and it optimises the screen updates
which can be a little frustrating as you dont get smooth scolling of the
screen display e.g. when typing a file. But so long as you display output
one screenful at a time (using MORE or whatever), this problem is avoidable.

It also boots up ok on a write protected disk in the host machine (our copy
of PCAnywhere will not), and the author, Doug Thomson, provides good support.
For example, I obtained some code from him which allows me to detect the
use of TeleReplica at login and therefore I can control who has dial-in
access.
