        No. You require an ODI board driver (named an MLID in ODI-speak).

        No. Only one IPXODI runs over ODI; it is hardware independent

        Follow the rules in the Red Books and compose a NET.CFG file.

        Two suggestions. One is to run either LWP/DOS or MS-DOS Kermit 3.12
directly over ODI. The other is to run shim ODIPKT over ODI to form a
Packet Driver interface, noting that this shim tends to drop a significant
number of incoming packets.

I guess this is a little before you time.  In the ancient times predating
10Base-T, it was not altogether uncommon (though never really preferred)
to run Ethernet over twisted pair via intervening baluns (like the kind
you would use to convert paired TV wires to coax, or UTP to 3270).  The
actual cable layout was the same as for 10Base-2 Ethernet (e.g., a bus,
not a star topology) and distances were quite limited.

3Com, as I recall, pushed a lot of this stuff in the mid-80's, before
Lattisnet, StarLan amd 10Base-T came about.  When it works, it's ok,
but when it doesn't work--call your local witch doctor!

When it was last discussed it seems that some people on the list had

Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

A solution to the DL2000 bridging problem (for file service at least) is
a crude one to try. If you have spare 2.15SFT/2.2 servers, use the netware
for mac VAP and create a router with an ethernet card and a DL2000. Prepare
the 3.11 as the target file server gateway, and you should be able to route
phase 2 ethernet packets to localtalk (with netware for mac 2.2) or phase 1
(with netware for mac 2.15). Note, you should have a license for 286 netware
to try this one out, but there are pitfalls to this maneuver.

Namely, print services are not so easy to do (you may want to handle those
froma 2.15/2.2 server), and I don't believe Novell supports this method of
doing things. We use it at our university with Macs on ethernet, and local
talk and our server is a DX250 EISA which does exhibit similar problems. The
other alternatives are the MPR, or Micro Channel (if you have the bucks).

        We have two labs with hard drives and one "Eletronic Classroom"
without hard drives. The classroom works great, each student at the
begining of the semester makes thier own boot disk and warm boots the
machine before each use. This helps prevent viruses from spreading.
Each station has a small amount of disk space on the server in case
there data disk goes bad and they need to save thier work, also because
some software opens temperary files (250K to 500K is normally enough).
The hard drives are also nice because some of the software the
professors have the students do homework/research on is not network
ready and must be loaded on each station, But this means we must
constantly scan the hard drives for virus, illegal software, and delete
homework files. We post signs stating that files left on the server or
hard drives will be deleted without notice and without be backed up. It
take time but we have trained student assistants to do most of it and I
also check about once a week.

                Hope this helps

I suspect that the ups logged in as supervisor.  note the connection number
of 101.  Do you have a 100-user version?  if so, then connection 101 is a
phantom connection from a nlm/vap.  Use paudit to determint the ethernet
address of the station logging in.  It likely is 00000000:000000000000, the
server itself.  The disable is for your protection to prevent anyone trying
to access the server before it goes down, and the enable is after power comes
back up.

A word of warning to anybody looking at SCSI Express.  Good news is, we
use it and we like it a lot.  Bad news is, Micro Design will not certify
it for use with anything but Toshiba drives (we use the TXM 3301 and are
very happy with them).  This doesn't mean that SCSI Express won't work with
another brand--obviously, it will.  But the message I've gotten from MDI
is, don't go crying to them if you're using something other than Toshiba.

Hi,
we recently install SCSI Express to read our NEC CD-ROM drive, it works fine
with no complaints. Is there any way to add an NFS name space to a CD

A note to anyone getting SCSI Express don't get a Panasonic CD-ROM drive for
your server, it won't work.

Thanks,

Subject:      LOGIN; DOS versions

We are in the process of ordering a bunch of new stations for a NW3.11 LAN,
and I am wondering if I should specify DR DOS over MS-DOS 5.0?  Any
comments?

This weekend the power was going to be intermittent, which I knew, and left
the server on deliberately to test the UPS.  At the present, the LAN is
extremely limited in scope:  one server and one station connected to it
with the Netware software (there are 30 other stations on the same thinnet
wiring, but capable of accessing on the LAN we are in the process of
replacing).  I noted the following messages on the screen of the server:

10/10/92 3:30pm: 0 0 0 Login disabled by user SUPERVISOR on connection 101
POWERMON reports utility fail on ATHEN, 5 mins to DOWN
POWERMON has restored utility power to ATHEN
10/10/92 3:30pm: 0 0 0 Login enabled by user SUPERVISOR on connection 101
10/11/92 6:34am: 0 0 0 Login disabled by user SUPERVISOR on connection 101

etc.

I understand the POWERMON messages, which are indicating that my UPS is
working properly.  What I do not understand is the disabling/enabling Login
by the SUPERVISOR given that no one was on the machines.  According to the
redbook containing the System Messages, "This is just a notice. The
specified user issued a command to disable login."  I thought that
SUPERVISOR was a pre-established user with special rights who had to login
like all other users.  Am I wrong or should I assume that something strange
is happening on the network?

The reason I asked was to try and find out why people were making this
claim!  There is a perfectly good way to talk IP over 802.3, using SNAP
as described in RFC 1042.  The only problem I could see with this is
if Novell used a bad LSAP, e.g. the global LSAP instead of an assigned
LSAP or the SNAP LSAP with an assigned Ethertype.

Can someone confirm whether Novell are doing this, and if so what are
they going to do about it!

how can I "take them out" when they aer loged int a MAC and put them

Thanks for the comment but it is not so simple. I think there is no
answer to this and it is a short comming in Novell. It should be
able to detect the kind of access and let the supervisor define file
access baised on the type of OS shell is requesting file info. This
seems to be right up the file server's alley... so to speak.

The way I see it JohnDoe should be able to login to SHARK (one of our
sewrvers on the net) from a MAC access mail and Mac stuff and not see
the 500+ files in the PUBLIC directory (one big bin, first search map)!
John could then login from a PC and every thing is OK only now he cannot
see the 40 meg of MAC apps.. And to press the point.. There are some PCs
with OS2 on them and I do not want to support application XYZ on OS2 for
JohnDoe I should be able to do that!

I think this is still file serving. I do not want rlogins to my Novell server!

Has anyone gotten the Novell requestor to work with OS/2 2.0, and an SMC Card
I downloaded the new files (NOR210.exe) which are supposed to work with OS/2 2.0
   and the newest SMC driver from CompuServe.
When I load IPX.sys, I get the following message:

IPX0105: LAN support module not installed
SYS1201:  The device driver "c:\netware\ipx.sys" specified in the device command
   on line 67 was not installed.

Then all of the other netware commands fail because IPX wasn't loaded.

I don't know much about OS/2 so I won't be surprised if I am missing something
obvious, but I followed the instructions and am not sure what else to try.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Use the VMS DEFINE command command to define the logical SYS$PRINT,

for example:

        $ DEFINE SYS$PRINT myqueue$1

This has the affect of creating a default for PRINT should
/QUEUE= not be specified.

That's one way to do it. Here in UCD we don't make the SYS volume
available to Mac clients (name space isn't added to the volume).
Likewise, we don't include a mapping to the MAC volume in PC login
