We need feed back regarding the use of diskless workstations on a Novell 3.11
network.  We are in the process of installing our first Novell system and
have elected for better or worse to go with diskless systems.  The network
is used in a general purpose academic computing lab with lots of creative
hackers.  Although the cost of hard disk systems were our main concern we
also hoped to avoid worrying about maintaining the hard disks in an open
academic environment.  We have received very strong feed back from some
regarding their negative experiences with diskless system.  Anyone
that can provide:

1. informed assessments of the advantages and disadvantages of using diskless
   systems (as well as personal experiences and hurdles)

2. contacts that might provide some information about specific hurdles to
   watch for etc.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean you know of two gopher clients?  There are gopher clients for
many different platforms.  On our Novell LAN we use both the packet driver
version and the LWP version, which is still in a test phase.  The packet
driver version is more complete right now.

Hi all
        Ami I looking for trouble? I have a busy server with a Procomp
isa SCSI controler and 1.2 gig of disk space. Mac name space mounted
and it is holding its on on a busy backbone. I just installed
an Adaptec 1540 controler and the Arcserv NLM. Is this going to be a
problem with the Adaptec and its memory address limitations ove 16 meg
boundary?

Arcserver 4.0 250 user,
Just bought it but I do not see where you give it the command to do DMA
transfers below 16 meg address only.

Could someone usind a setup like this comment.
                thanks a mill..... or is that a meg

I am looking into purchasing a tape drive for myself.  I need more than 250MB,
and I cannot get significant compression.  (It is lots of *.ZIP and such!)
I have found 2 drives so far.  Here is my info:
  Dell 525, SCSI 320M+compression $799/$999 Sytos
  HDI Sankyo, SCSI 525M+compression $999/$1199 Cheyanne ArcSolo
If I get the HDI Sankyo, I can put another HD online.  I have 275M (+113) to
back up, and I want Full backup without attendance (i.e. 1 catrtidge).

My first question is what else is available (preferable SCSI) for me?
My second question is what is YOUR opinion/experience on SYTOS and ARCSOLO?

Please reply private, and I will summerize.

Sounds like maybe the job was to large for the printer. How much mem does the

Just a thought....hope it helps....

Hi folks,

Currently my company has a policy of purchasing HP "Intelligent" 10baseT

errors on the network.
They are very expensive, and I wonder whether it is worth it, any body
have any experience with these things?  is it worth it?

Hi, folks:

Does anyone know anything about problems with IBM's Token-Ring cards with
EPROM's which are dated 1990?  I do not know for sure what the exact problem
was.  All I remember was that I saw some posting on this list (or some other
network related lists) that talked about this.  If I am totally wrong on
this, I apologize.  It is not my intention to go around and to spread rumors.
If you know anything that may help to enlighten me, I would be very

Thank you.

Subject:      Logging all server console messages

A number of the messages that appear on a NW 3.11 file server console
show up in SYS$LOG.ERR of VOL$LOG.ERR etc.  Is there a way to make all
console activity appear in a file?  (Something you can turn on or off at
will would be ideal)

Related:  Does anyone how to pause the console screen from an NCF file?
          (It is easy to forget the different console commands which show
          you 'stuff'  eg DISPLAY NETWORKS, DISPLAY SERVERS, PROTOCOLS,
          NAME, VERSION, CONFIG, MODULES, LOAD IPTUNNEL SHOW=YES, VOLUMES,
          MEMORY, SEARCH, UPS STATUS, TIME others?   so it would be nice
          to have either an NCF file that wrote all this to a file, or
          one that would pause between commands.  A PAUSE.NLM would be
          nice :-)

PS For those of you interested in protocols, there is a PROTO.NLM which
   gives some basic statistics about each protocol load in your server.
   Some of these statistics are not available in MONITOR (to my knowledge)

I'm wondering what this pride is based upon... Upon the fact that
you have been able to program a utility that just happens to look
*exactly* like the MurkWorks FTPD.NLM?

I do not know the truth.  I just cannnot imagine that two people,
completely independent of each other could make two programs that
look and feel exactly the same.

I'm using the MurkWorks Inc.  FTPD.NLM for some time now and will
gladly pay the small fee.  That way I'm sure MurkWorks is able to
continue to develop  useful tools for the Novell world.  And I am
sure MurkWorks made the FTPD.NLM without any help from outside...

	Wordperfect will override the capture command if you've got your
printer port set to other device rather than lpt1. If you set the port
to lpt1 you'll find that it will use the capture command. I've used it
and it works!

We downloaded a postscript .PDF file that works great.  It is called
POSTTEXT.  I am not sure where we got it either risc.ua.edu or
info.umd.edu.  Or you can just archie and look for it.

Murkwork NLM is available free in time-limited demonstration form but it

Reply-To: Novell LAN Interest Group <NOVELL@SUVM.BITNET>
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11]

I have two separate PC computer laboratories which are not connected to each
other.  The distance between the two laboratories is approximately 75 feet.
We want to start a project to combine both networks into one overall Novell
network (implies new file server and Novell 3.11).  Here are the specifics
of the two networks.

                         LAB A                     LAB B

  NOS              3COM LAN Manager 1.1      Novell 2.1, Rev a
  Work-
   Stations               16                         16
  Printers                 3                          2

The 3 printers (2 lasers, 1 dot-matrix) on the 3COM network are connected
directly to the server.  The 3COM network uses HP communications hubs for
workstation connectivity.  For the Novell network, we have a small Print
Server that the two printers are connected to.

Applications are typical for a network.  The only WINDOWS application
we use currently is Pagemaker 4.0 -- hence, one of our laser printers has
postscript capability.

The issue is printer support for these laboratories.  I see two possible
options:

    1.  Small print servers for each laboratory.

    2.  Directly connected printers to my new server.

Questions --  what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two
options?  Is there any other approach that I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance.
