X-Gate is a cheap and easy to setup and use SMTP to MHS gateway.  Since 
CC:Mail is an MHS application, you might want to look into X-Gate (it's
also cheap).

 How is it to setup the server as a TCP/IP Server ???
 How can I specify the Server IP-Adress ??
 How about NFS ??? Is it possible to use ???

Subject: Need ODI driver for RACAL INTERLAN NP600A
Organization: Fac. Wiskunde & Informatica, VU, Amsterdam
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1992 12:35:31 GMT

Yesterday, I bought 2 Netware Lite (v1.1) packages and 2 network
cards. The person who sold me the cards told me that software
was included... Well you've guessed it right, no software was
included. Well, only 1 diagnostic program came on a 360K disk.

I'd really like to get the system going soon... So that's why
I'm posting this request.

The 2 network cards (16-bit) are:
	RACAL INTERLAN NP-600A

I don't know if it helps, but the major components on the card are:
	80186 CPU
     82586 LAN Coprocessor
     Dynamic RAM (512K)
     EPROM ??
     Built-in Transceiver
Maybe it sounds familiar to someone....

I've tried all drivers which come with Netware Lite but they all
complain about an incompatible (not available) board. The diag-
nostic program runs all test OK so I think the problem is really
the drivers.
If someone could mail me an (ODI) driver or can explain where to
find one, I'd be really happy. And don't we all want to be happy???
Maybe someone knows if the cards are compatible with some card for
which drivers are available...

I *had* an Accton 32-bit NIC; but returned it when there was no packet
driver written for (or supplied with) the card.  Disappointingly, it
wouldn't emulate an NE3200.

So, until I find something, I've got a 16-bit Accton EtherCombo card
shoved into one of my EISA slots...  (I'm a 10BaseT guy.)

Oh, I've heard just a little on the Mylex card...nothing concrete in
terms of compatibility, drivers, etc.

Any recommendations on 32-bit 10BaseT NICs??

the SMC Elite32 has dual thin-net ports, kinda cool.

get the latest drivers, as the initial ones tended to not go too
good under a load.

too bad there are no packet drivers, or SCO unix drivers for
both ports yet.  come to think of it, too bad there aren't any
dual port drivers for novell yet either.

nice of them to build adual port card.

where are the drivers?

If you have internet connectivity and Netware 3.11 use the TCP/IP NLM and
get the RDATE.NLM to sync to one of the hundreds of time servers available
in the world.  YOu won't be at the mercy of your PC's clock getting out
of wack and altering your servers.  We use this in the Department of

Very true, if the box isn't locked where I can't get to it, I can get into
any Novell 3.11 file server.  I have yet to see a security system that 
would prevent me from getting supervisor access if I really wanted it, and
didn't care about discovery.  If you remove the STARTUP.NCF from the boot
disk, you can then boot the server, load a set-password NLM from a floppy
disk, then reenable the startup.NCF.  Trust me, I've had to do that for
clients before on supposedly secure servers.  Had loads of fun once with
a fileserver that had a password-boot system, but the password had been 
forgotten (never trust a user to document stuff like this).  I had to take
that one back to the office, and it's a good thing the case didn't have a lock,
because otherwise I would have had to damage it to get the HD out.

I just found a shareware thingi (NAVYTIME.ZIP) that has a batch file
that will call some place in Washington DC and set the server time
via the Naval Clock.  I use the batchfile to login to all of our servers
and set the time automatically.

I got the file from a BBS in Maryland (Baltimore?) called "The Painframe".
Its on the Novell file distribution network (a Fido network).  I don't
know the number offhand (its at home) but you if you call a Fidonet board
around you the sysop may be convinced to help you out and look in his nodelist
for the Maryland area.
Or send me a mail message at home "Joe.Beiter@arden.linet.org" where I hav
the number handy.  The Painframe has a ton of Novell stuff and all the stuff
found on Compusplurge without the Compusplurge prices (just give him some
equally usefull files).

Take note, the Novell file distribution net has nothing to do with the 
Novell company.  Just a bunch of sysadmins that can't leave work at work.
(Gads we have the best jobs on earth!)

My first advice is to go out and buy Novell's MultiProtocol Router
v2.0, which supports multiple subnets on a single physical network.
Since you really are using your NetWare server as a full time router,
you might find this worth the price.  (I'm not sure our sales or
marketing guys ever mention this, but MPR v2.0 can be run on a normal
NetWare server if the server has enough spare cycles: it doesn't
require a standalone PC.)

>My questions:

I'll answer these under the assumption that you are only using NetWare
v3.11, just in case you don't want to buy MPR v2.0.

>1.  Is it possible for the RIP information to propagate back to the

The RIP information should have been propagated, and i'm not entirely
sure why it wasn't.  It sounds like your primary gateway isn't telling
the whole story with its RIP packets.

>2.  Is there any way to teach TCPIP.NLM how to read the RIP broadcast
>going to 255.255.255.255 without breaking anything?

TCPIP.NLM will receive and interpret RIP broadcasts to
255.255.255.255, so the destination address is not the reason it
didn't see them.  It was probably just ignoring the RIP broadcasts
with a source IP address that wasn't on what it considered a directly
connected network, which seems reasonable.

>3.  I noticed that there is a 'gate=' parameter on the bind command.
>Does this install a default route (0.0.0.0)?  If so, which interface
>does it belong on?  I didn't fully understand the description and use

The GATEWAY parameter does place a default route into the routing
table.  In your case, you'd put a GATEWAY parameter on the bind to the
backbone network, and give it the address of the primary router.
After that, when the NetWare router receives packets intended for the
secondary subnets (i.e., the subnets it doesn't actually know about),
it will send them to the primary router for "forwarding" to the other
subnets sharing the physical network.

>4.  Is there anything else that I may have overlooked?

MPR v2.0, mainly.  Also, it sounds like the primary router is doing
some hinky things which make it harder than it should be to put nodes
without multiple subnet support on the backbone network.  You might
want to explore that a little further in case it's doing something
that can confuse other nodes.

Nothing all-inclusive or laboratory scientific here, but I thought
some of you would be interested in the results of some of our file
server testing. We've been looking into NetWare for Macintosh as
an alternative to separate Mac and PC file servers.

So, I hooked up a string of Mac Plusses (on AppleTalk) and plugged 
them alternately into an SE/30 AppleShare file server and a 386 33MHz
running NetWare for Mac.

The bad news: I was limited by a 5 user license on the NetWare
end. The good news: I used exactly the same machines, cabling,
and anything else I could think of (no other network traffic at
the time).

Here's how it came out:

Launch MS Word    (2 machines)      (4 machines)     (10 machines) 

AppleShare          34 secs           55 secs            2:05
NetWare for Mac     31 secs           49 secs             ???

Launch medium-
sized HyperCard
stack

AppleShare          1:07              1:54                4:39
NetWare              :59              1:39                 ???

MacWriteII         (5 machines)

AppleShare          2:11
NetWare             1:28

Simulataneous launch         
Word/MacWriteII/HyperCard

AppleShare          1:23
NetWare             1:01


As you see, NetWare for Macintosh did outperform the venerable SE/30,
but not by any staggering amount. I'm sure I could get a bigger bang
by going to ethernet or maybe a server upgrade. Still, we're not
looking at this for speed, but rather for cost and convenience. If you've
already got a NetWare file server, NetWare for Mac is pretty cheap.
But I'm not writing this to make recommendations, so I better 
stop there.

As a University lab setting, we have considerations that don't apply
to all. People do launch their applications off our file servers, and
we obviously tested what was interesting to us--word processing and
HyperCard. I can't begin to estimate the results for other applications
or server activities.

I will say this much, though, if you're used to setting up AppleShare,
clear your desk, make a big pot of coffee...

Hope this is of some help.

I have been using Intel Netport (the original) for about a year with
good results and reasonable performance.  I have seen adds for modules
plug into the options slot on HPs.  The ethernet plugs directly into
this module.  I think that one of the selling points is that the
parallel cable is done away with, and throughput is increased.

Does anyone have any experience with these devices ? Are there different

Subject: Clearing up possible backup misconception
Organization: Too many
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 92 18:20:09 GMT


I'm posting this in case anyone else had the same missunderstanding
that I did about how to back up a Novell 3.11 file server using a
non-novell-aware backup program.  I was under the incorrect assumption
that if I used bindfix/bindrestore to backup the binderies, and our
regular tape software to backup the volume, that we could recover
everything using a combination of the two.

Well, after lightning struck one of our customer sites, blowing the
power supply fan and *BOTH* duplexed SCSI disks (this on a file server
with a surge protector and UPS), we loaned the
customer a drive to use while the SCSI drives were repaired.  We then
proceded to restore the binderies and all the information.  When we
were done, the trustee rights, and a few other minor things were
missing.

Upon further examination, we learned that the trustee rights are not
located in the binderies.  We talked to Microware Tech support about
the problem, and they faxed us a Novell document describing the proper
procedure in detail, which is to use NBACKUP to backup the binderies,
trustee rights, and directory structure, then use the regular backup
procedures to backup the data itself.

The story does have a happy end, though, as this was our most
documented system, and the only one where we had a hard-copy of all
the trustee rights.  It took an hour to reenter all the trustee rights
by hand, but we managed to learn a valuable lesson without loosing
important data.

I sincerely hope that this misconception is a rare one, but my
impression is that it is not, so I also hope that anyone on the net
using a normal backup program read this, so they dont fall into this
trap as well.

If you don't use a Novell-aware backup program, and are not using
NBACKUP to save your binderies and trustee rights, I strongly
recommend you look into this problem.
