Subject:      help with wd card and 3.11 install

I just began to install netware 3.11 on my existing 2.2 server. I am
using a ps/2 model 80 386 with a Western Digital elite/a ethernet
card. When I reached the point where I needed to load the lan driver,
I typed load wdplus, from my old disk (lan_200) than I used to
install 2.2. I received the error message that this wasn't the
correct driver.

Can anyone tell me what file netware is looking for? I also
think I will need to locate the new driver disk (smc now?)
for the microchannle WD card. Is there an FTP site for this
disk?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John Rutherford

MARK YOUR CALENDAR !!!

            Computers In Healthcare Education Symposium

                        April 29 & 30, 1993
                     Thomas Jefferson University
                         Philadelphia, PA

The Symposium serves as a national forum and provides numerous
opportunities to share ideas and expertise about the use of
technology in healthcare education.  The HSLC encourages the
sharing of resources among Pennsylvania's Health Sciences
institutions and towards that end is sponsoring the eighth
"Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium.  The Symposium is
two full days of speakers, workshops and exhibits.

The "Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium is the only computer
conference designed for and by medical and allied health educators.
We invite you to participate and join in exploring the 1993
Symposium theme --

"Collaborative Computing & Networking for the 90's"

In keeping with the theme of collaboration, we are pleased to announce that
this year's symposium is jointly sponsored by IBM and Apple.  The exhibit
area will also feature many other commercial vendors and a reception on
Thursday evening.

We are pleased to announce that our keynote speakers will be Ed Krol,
Pat Mulholt and Mike Bowman.

Ed Krol is the author of _The Hitchhikers Guide to The Internet_ and
_The Whole Internet: User's Guide and Catalog_.  _The Whole Internet_ is
considered by many to be the most useful Internet handbook available.
Mr. Krol has also consented to host a book signing at the symposium.

Pat Mulholt of Columbia University of Health Sciences will speak on the
creation of an electronic curriculum through the CHIPS project at Columbia.
The CHIPS project networks the curriculums of all the medical, dental and
allied health schools through the central hub of their library.

Mike Bowman of IBM will speak on IBM and Apple joint ventures. In a
true collaboration IBM and Apple have created two joint venture firms,
Taligent and Kaleida.  Mike will explain the goals of these two new firms.

The Symposium program includes a wide range of interesting and
useful activities including keynote speakers, paper presentations,
panel sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. Speakers have been
invited from all over the United States and the Republic of Panama.

The brochure, registration and hotel information will be mailed in February
1993. If you would like to receive a copy please send your name and

In our lab, we use a program called direct access that sets up a menu
to access all of our programs and a wide variety of dos commands.
Even the programs that have exit to dos in them return to the menu.
We have had very good results with this software.  We have student
directories on the LAN that give them access to only what we want them
to have access to.  They can even run their own software on the
computers and it will return to the menu.   If for some reason they
need access to something that we don't generally give access to.
They must schedule a time when a consultant is present.

This method has worked so well in fact that our labs are opened 24
hours a day, and to this point we have had no problems.  Of course
there is always a chance of something going wrong but that is why we
can be called anytime of the day or night and to this point (over six
years for one lab) we have had no major problems to speak of.....

The way I do it is set a directory structure similar to the following:
SYS----PUBLIC---WORKSTAT---00000001----0000-0000008A
		   |	      		 |--00000040  each dir is a computer.
                   |
		   |-------00000002----C720-890A38DF

and so on.  Below the workstation directory or located the directories
coresponding to you network address by this I mean the network id which is
used when you bind the ipx to a card.  e.g.: bind ipx to ne2000 net=2

The directories located below the network address are the first 2 bytes of 
the node address in hexadecimal so it becomes 4 bytes.  e.g.  If your node
address is C720890A38DF then a directory at this level would become C720.

The directories located below the first 2 bytes (4 in hexadecimal since a
full node address is 6 bytes total but becomes 12 when converted to a ASCII
hexadecimal representation) are the next 4 bytes (8 in hex) of the node
address.  So if your node address in hex is C720890A38DF then the directory
would be 890A38DF.

I then place the WIN.COM, SYSTEM.INI, and SPART.PAR files for that workstation
in the directory.  Make sure you flag the SPART.PAR file SRW because it
defaults to being read-only.

Then before executing windows I copy these files in to the users window 
directory.  This works very well for myself.  I wrote a program to set the
environment variables for me since using the Novell login program will 
generate a 12 byte node address which doesn't work very well for the 8.3
file name system under DOS.

We've had 4 7171s in use for 5+ years; at least 1 is 7 years old.
Years ago we took them all off IBM maintenance because 1) IBM
sells a parts kit for repair 2) the 7171 has no moving parts and
3) we have an engineering staff that can swap boards from the
parts kit.  I believe we've had one or two failures across all
of them.

I would not be overly concerned about 7171s suddenly failing, the
one site with the power supply problem notwithstanding.  If you're
worried, talk to your CE about what depot supplies these parts,
or get your own parts kit, or buy a spare used 7171.  (With the
trend to Ethernet connectivity there should be more spares on the
market; in fact we just decomissioned 2 of our 4 7171s).

I've had 3 7171's for 7-8 years now.  I had a number of TC card
failuresat first, but it seemed like a board rev. fixed that.  We still
loose a TC card every once in a while due to lightning.  Our technician
usually fixes them as it is almost always a line driver IC that fails.
We have never lost a power supply that I know of.  We do our own
maintenance.

Interesting.  We've run 2 7171s for 3 years, and have had only one problem,
a faulty CPU board.

It sounds like either your line voltage into the 7171(s) has a problem, or
perhaps there's a short inside that's drawing too much current.  I'd have
the CE check into that before installing another power supply.

We have eight 7171s for the past 6 years or so and in that time
had very few failures. We never have had a power supply failure
and have had only a couple of adapter card failures. One of the
7171s was bought for spare parts about 3 years ago and we took
them off maintenance, since they are easy to fix. We have not
had to touch the  spare unit for parts. They are extremely reliable,
so I would look at other possible causes of the failure.

Have the failures all been on the same machine?

I would like to be able to detect when somebody connects to a 7171

check to see if the port is active, and if not to wait until a
connection is made.  Does anybody have any suggestions on how this
could be implemented or if there any utilities that can do this?
I need it for a rexx application that talks to dedicated terminals
(as in ATTACH xxx TO *), it can detect if there is no connection
but it does a busy wait which I don't like.

Thanks for the reply.  No, three different boxes.

Oh, but I see rose colored glasses here.  What if the mean failure rate
is 6.1 years.  I said 5 years, plus, because the carbon dating data is
not back from the lab.  I don't know the age, I would like to determine
that if possible.

It is possible your boxes are of the same vintage as ours and you will loose
three, tomorrow.  What would you do?   The repair turn around rate on the
power supply is 6 weeks.  Is that an acceptable down time for three of your
boxes?  Do you need to have eight backup units, or is one enough?  I needed
three.  I might need more, and that's what I'm trying to get a handle
on.

So, my point is, in this community, is there a feel for the right backup
level and can we determine the mean time to failure?

Are the machines dated in anyway?

At KU we have six 7171s mostly connected to our X.25 Packet net.  All
packet net ports operate at 9600 with no trouble at all.  We have a few
direct connect terminals running at 19.2 with no trouble.  It is my
understanding that you probably shouldn't make all the ports on one TC
19.2 because the 80186 processor can't process interrupts that fast if all
the ports are receiving at the same time.

Subject:      Envelope printing macro

From: Doreen Rappaport
If you select the MACROS keyboard, there is a macro that already is set up
to do this.  It comes with WP51.  To select the macro keyboard, go into
SETUP (Shift F1) and select keyboard layout. (I think it is option 5).
Select the MACROS keyboard and return to the main editing screen.  From that
point on, CTRL-E will allow you to activate the envelope macro.

If you want to copy just that macro to a different directory and resort back
to the original keyboard under keyboard layout, highlight the macros keyboard
and then select edit.  A listing of all of the different macros accessible
through this keyboard will be displayed.  Highlight the envelope macro and then
select save.  You can then give the macro a different key assignment and name.
For example: ALT-E.  The macro will then be saved to the keyboard/macro
directory specified under setup.  See WP Documentation pages 336-342 for
additional info.

Hope this helps.
