Subject:      Server Memory over 16MB

We have hit a problem with Memory in our File servers - we've filled up our
16M quota and we still need more RAM (for our Oracle 6 server).  We can't
afford a new EISA file server to do the job, so are there any other
options.  The machine is a ISA based 486, with an RM Ethernet card and a
Adaptec 1540 SCSI controller.

I have heard rumours about 16Mb add on cards (on the ISA bus), but I'm not
sure if Netware can use the memory and if it can is will the Oracle NLMs
use it?

Another possibility is that one of new ISA based PCs could be used since it
will take 32Mb on the main board.  But will this hit similar problems.

Thanks for any help

Subject: WD8003E - Help!! Additional Info...
X-To:         novell@suvm.bitnet

Hi all,
        I would like to thank everyone for their initial responses to my
post.  However, I have not been able to get my problem solved and am posting
additional information in the hopes that someone out there can help me out.
My problem is this:  We have installed a new Western Digital card into a
486 machine, and I am in the process of trying to get this machine to hook
up to our network.  We are using the latest version of WD8003E.COM as our
packed driver, and when I run the program, the following happens:

        I type:  WD8003E 0x60 5 0x280 0xd000
        -The jumper on the card is set to this configuration.
        -The packet driver loads up, tells me that it is accessing
           the card, and then gives the following error message:

        WD8003E apparently not at this address.





I don't know what causes this error, because the packet driver also returns
the correct Ethernet address, which it gets from the card.
        Right now, I have configured the machine with a bare bones
configuration (only HIMEM.SYS loaded, no other device drivers or programs
being run).  However, I would like to eventually run EMM386.EXE to allow
DOS to load info into the UMB.  No matter what the configuration, the same
error occurs.
        If I try to continue, IPX will load fine, but when I try running
NET5 with the PS parameter, it returns that "No file server can be found."
or similar message (I can't remember the exact wording).  NET5 without the
PS parameter hangs the workstation.
        This particular workstation has two monitors hooked up, and I do not
have the option of removing one of them.  One is a SVGA monitor, and the
other is a monochrome one (Mitsubishi monochrome card, if it helps).
        I need to get this problem solved ASAP (like yesterday), so ANY
comments at all would be appreciated.  If you need more information, please
send me E-Mail, and I will get back with you immediately.  Thanks for your
help!

        Ask and you shall receive, even ahead of time (forward error
correction algorithms in action). Gopher to GOPHER.USU.EDU and see novlib,
cleverly mounted via NetWare NFS from netlab2 to our Sun gopher server.
Our gopher person is on holiday so the "cache" files are a little out of
date on what's binary and what's text, but all the novlib files should be
visible, including FORUM.DOS (text) and the 1992 running change sheet
NOVCHG.92 (also text, and also in need of editing).

While our server did crash twice in 24 hours, by frequently I meant once 
every 3 or 4 months.  This time the cause was a General Processor Exception.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the controller or disks.  The
controller is new (a Procomp MDCB/32) as of this summer.  The disks are 
older but haven't showed any signs of problems.

As for running VREPAIR more than once, I tried it 4 times as well as 
OnTrack's NETUTILS, both of which failed.  The system wasn't even busy, a 
relatively light load compared to what I can expect in a month when the 
students are back...

This alleged MAP command doesn't sound like the MAP command I know.
Since some noise is made on your local disk, I'd check your path to
see which directories are checked first for a filename.  I'll bet
you've got another program called MAP on your harddisk and it is
getting executed instead of the Novell program--I've had instances
like this MANY times, and be VERY SURE that this isn't the problem
before you give up.  Try copying a good copy of the MAP command into
your current directory and execute it from there....

If this doesn't help, you've sure got me stumped!!

MS-DOS CD-ROM extension is Microsoft's TSR utility MSCDEX.EXE. If you have
a CD-ROM SCSI drive then it comes with a device driver which is MSCDEX 
compatible. In otherwords, you need MSCDEX in your AUTOEXEC.BAT in addition
to the CD-ROM SCSI device driver in CONFIG.SYS. Both of them together will
help you access your CD-ROM like a Read Only hard-disk with a drive letter.

I am not sure how to do this, but you might look into Charon 4.0 to
do this for you.  I thought that Charon 4.0 can move things between
Novell queues(not just from Novell to remote IP printing and vice-
versa).  What you could do is have Charon move the plots from one
queue to another, but set the Poll time to 3600 seconds(One hour).
The second queue would be attached to the printer.  Also to make sure
that no-one prints to that other queue directly, make sure none of
the users can are Queue users of the actual printing queue, execpt
Charon.

As I understand it, when the "execute only" flag is set, the server will
block attempts by a station to issue the "open", "read" or "write"
system calls, but allow the "execute" system call. This is fine for
"ordinary" executables, but a number of commercial programs use overlay
techniques where some of the code and data in the .EXE file is read in by
the application as required. In order to do this the application needs
to be able to open and read its own .EXE file, and if it's been flagged
"execute-only" it can't. It's also worth noting that "execute-only"
files can't be backed up (even by SUPERVISOR) for the same reason.

Hope this helps.

Subject:      Setting up Printer server (pserver)
X-To:         NOVELL@SUVM.bitnet

I can't seem to get pserver working with remote boot prom.
I have created a boot diskette with ipx, netx pserver.exe and
various other files mentioned in the print server manual.  The
autoexec.bat contains:

        ipx
        netx
        pserver me123

If I boot the dedicated workstation off the boot diskette, everything
works fine.  However, when I DOSGEN the diskette and try remote load,
the ipx and netx loads fine, but pserver line is executed with the
message "No such file".  I presume that after netx, the default drive
becomes F: and hence it cannot find pserver.exe.  I modified the boot
image as follows:

        ipx
        netx
        a:
        pserver me123

I assumed that the boot process is still executing from the A: drive.
Of course, this does not work either as it tries to locate the file
from the A: drive.

Questions.  How does one go about setting this.  From the
documentation I infer that one does not have to actually login to the
file server to execute pserver.  This was indeed true when I booted
the dedicated machine off the floppy.  Then, what is the use of giving
a password to a printer server account?  What does ETHERRPL do?  I seem to
be able to remote boot without loading this NLM.

Reading about creating boot image, one of the instructions asks that I
set up the LOGIN directory with Modify attribute.  However, setting up
the Modify attributes requires the name of the user.  What name does
one give to a print server?   If I am setting up a lab. where a
student can login to any available workstation, I would have to give
Modify access to LOGIN dirctory to group EVERYONE.  Isn't this
dangerous?  With modify access anyone should be able to rename/delete
files in the LOGIN directory.

I must be missing something.  Please help.

Thanks.

Script identifiers need to be in caps, and have quotation marks. i.e.,

set nam="%FULL_NAME"

Control printing by issuing the capture command within the login script.
We do it by creating groups of users for each queue, then doing IFs in
the system login script:

   IF MEMBER OF "Q_HPPAINTJET" THEN BEGIN
       #CAPTURE L=1 Q=hpppaintjet NFF NT NB
   END

Dear fellow Novellers,

I've got a slight problem.

I have a Novell 3.11 ethernet network with on the same
line a UNIX box to which I communicate using either
NCSA Telnet or MSKermit 3.11.

All of this works fine using ODI and the ODI-
packetdriver shim.

What I need to do now is run my Foxpro application and
have it query the UNIX based database via a Telnet
session. There is a server in place and functional on
the UNIX box and I can query it succesfully in single
sessions but now I need to make it transparent to the
Foxpro application user.

In short I need to setup and send telnet session
commands from within Foxpro.

Does anybody know how to go about doing this??? I hope
somebody can point me in the right direction or mention
software to do this.

Please let me know.

Sounds like a useful thing for playing with settings on a test server.
But unless it saves the settings in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, entering the set
commands in the file once beats using a nice point-and-shoot menu
