Subject: Looking for MHS Fax. gateway..
Date: 10 Nov 92 14:04:01 GMT
Organization: University College Dublin

Does anyone know if such a product exists:

A piece of software that runs as a fax gateway on an MHS machine, using the
cheapo Rockwell chipset internal data/fax modem installed in the machine and
used to dialup other MHS machine, but using the (class 1/class 2) fax mode of
the modem to send the fax.

I know of a gateway, AGATE, that uses the modem to dialup AT&T Email, and
allows one to send & receive X.400 Email etc. from a local MHS Email system,
via asynch., WITHOUT having to use expensive X.25.  [We may go with this quite
soon..]

Is there a similar fax. product?

Cheers,

I've got Norton Deskton for Windows, version 2.0.  My PC runs on a
Novell LAN.

I've just got round to installing the SmartCan TSR to get rid of that
annoying "SmartCan protection is not available - delete anyway?" warning
I get whenever I try to delete anything.  It works fine for my hard
drive, but nothing I delete from a network drive is UnErase'able.

My guess if that SmartCan is pretty dumb and always trys to put its
"smartcan" directory in the root of the drive being protected, even when
I doen't have the right priveleges to do this.

Is there any way of getting SmartCan to stash deleted files somewhere I
can write to?

Greetings:

Our organization is moving to a client-server architecture using Oracle DBMS 
on Sun Sparc 10s.  There will be numerous sites within the USA and Canada 
connected by T1s on a WAN.

We were thinking of using Netware Portable running on the Sun Sparcstations
to support the organization application needs.  Does anyone have experience
with Portable Netware to enlighten me on the advantages of Portable Netware
over a dedicated PC Server or its disadvantage.  The only thing that I could
think of is it simplifies the routing of packets (only TCP/IP).

I would appreciate if you can email me your responses and I would sum it
to the net if there is sufficient interest.  Thank you for your kind
assistance.

What causes Hot Fix to stop running on a 2.15 server?  The error
message in the SYS$LOG.ERR says HOT FIX TURNED OFF ON DRIVE 1.  The server
just stopped running at the same time.  No error messages on console.

Hi all!

I'm looking to install an E-mail package on a new Novell network
with 8 Mac's and 5 PC's.  I've been looking at cc:Mail and Microsoft
Mail.  The only concern I have is that whichever package I choose
must be able to communicate seemlessly with my parent company's
cc:Mail post office.

I was leaning towards Microsoft Mail because the people who manage
the network at my parent company say that cc:Mail is quirky on the
Mac.  Is this true?  

Does anyone out there use both cc:Mail and Microsoft Mail?  If so,
how well do the two post offices communicate with each other?  Am
I asking for trouble by not using the same mail package as my
parent company?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

First, let me thank everyone who responded to my request for help with
the autoincrement key feature in Btrieve.  As it turns out the problem
was that the file I was creating was not being created properly.  I am
using a C library for Btrieve package and used an example from their
manual as the basis for my programl.  The example is wrong!  The example
creates a file with several keys, all of type Zstring (or so they
think).  In fact, the keys are made type string because the
EXTENDED_TYPE flag is not set.  I made the error of assuming the library
was adding this internally.  I never thought to check BUTIL -STAT on my
file.  My autoincrement key was being created as type string...hardly
the same thing.  Sorry for wasting your time but once again, thank you
for all your help.
                        Yours sincerely,

the net card) of a workstation.  This does not include cabling,
although an adjustment cost if that were added too would help.
Please give me a general idea by EMAIL since I need these figures

Reply-To: jhb@dcs.ed.ac.uk (John Butler)
Organization: Department of Computer Science, Edinburgh University

I'm trying to build a Netware Access 1.22 system on DOS 5.0 with the WNIM+
board and going demented here.  The system builds nicely and is accessible
from OnLAN/PC but I cannot get the WNIM+ modem lines to initialise. I suspect
either a memory clash or version mismatch but can't show one up.

Any ideas? if so *PLEASE* read on...

Configuration:	'386 PC, 140Mb HD, 8Mb memory, VGA.  SC&C NE/2 clone ethernet
		card set to IRQ3, address 300 (factory defaults).
		WNIM+ board no IRQ (de-jumpered), address 280 (factory defaults)
		DOS 5.0, NW Access 1.22 including IPX.

WNIM+ ports:	Two dial-in auto-baud.  One dial-in fixed at 2400, one direct
		line.  The 2400 dial-in line is plugged directly into a Pace
		Hayes-compatible modem.

Problem:	On booting Access Server, no sign of any activity on the modem.
		Access Server blue menu "Port Status/Reset" reports
		"Initialisation Failed" on all four lines.

I've tried two WNIM+ boards and have re-installed the software three times now,
following the instructions more and more to the letter each time.  If it said
draw a picture of Towser the wonder-dog on the disc now I'd do it. There's an
addendum to the 1.22 manual that implies it should run under DOS5.0 provided
DOS doesn't go high.  I see nothing that would do this and I'm totally out of
ideas apart from reverting to DOS 4.01 which seems ludicrous.
I've run QEMM as suggested but it shows nothing I can see.  Any ideas?
It seems such a straightforward vanilla installation but I'm stumped.

Try APPMETER from FUNK Software.  We use it at our site.  It is very good.
It consists of an NLM module.  It also meters WINDOWS applications.

     First, I would like to thank the people that answered my questions about 
finding Full name using the Netware libraries.

     For the people that have asked and others that may want to know,  we 
purchased The NetWare C Interface for DOS from Programmer's Paradise,
1163 Shrewsbury Ave., Shrewsbury, NJ 07702.  I'm sure that this package can
be purchased from other software vendors also.  We paid $239.00 for the package.I have found these libraries quite useful for programming network utilities.
The libraries contain routines for Accounting, AFP, Bindery, Communication,
Workstation, Diagnostic, Directory, File, Message, Name Space, Print Server, 
Print, Queue, SAP, Synchronization, TTS, and VAP services.  I have not begun
to fully explore all of the routines provided with this package.  So far, I 
have only used the workstation and bindery services and am quite satisfied
with these routines.

Sounds very much like there's at least three people who know
something about NetWare (a book can be had for $30 that describes
all these aspects, except the power strip/TR card). I'd find it
difficult to believe all this suddenly started by coincidence.
Your last comment tends to indicate otherwise, as well. There are
two courses of action I can see:

First, change the supervisor password, lock the server closet, and 
put a recording power meter in to check the line voltage. Only give
the new password to the people who need it, and hope the problems
don't continue.

Second, quietly modify the sypervisors' login script to record who
logs in from what station when. *Nobody* should be doing that without
authorization, so there shouldn't be too much data getting collected.
If lines come up missing from a configuration file again, look at the
last modified date before fixing it (may be necessary to retrieve from
a backup), and see if there's a supervisor login just before that time.
Don't mention the logging to anyone except a member of management there,
preferrably one who's favorable to the networks' presence (or whatever
the office politics has to do with it).

In either case, make sure the backups are working and verified. This
sounds too much like a case of sabotage to me. Just like the company 
in Georgia....

Hi,

If you really mean ROUTER.EXE (which is created using ROUTEGEN.EXE) you will
need to install the NW4MAC VAPs to get the NetWare file and print services
advertised on either side of the PC ROUTER.  The main thing you should under-
stand here is that ROUTER.EXE is an IPX ROUTER.  So, the AppleTalk devices can-
not directly exchange information across the ROUTER.  For example, the Macs on
the FASTPATH side will NOT be able to "see" or mount the published System7
volumes that "live" on the other side of the ROUTER.  The FASTPATH Macs will not
be able to see the printers on the other side of the ROUTER either.  Only
NetWare services (file and print) will be seen on either side of ROUTER.  Your
VAPs will act as GATEWAYS to provide you this functionality.

If you really want to exchange AppleTalk across the PC in the above picture,
replace ROUTER.EXE with the MULTI-PROTOCOL ROUTER.  MPR will provide you with
the functionality you seek.  FASTPATH Macs will "see" published
System7 volumes on the other side of the MPR, and you will be able to print
directly to the printers too (no queue needed).

These are your solutions...

Think Peace...

Dan Seeman

Walnut Creek, Ca.

ps.  The current version of the VAPs is 2.2.

pps. The MPR is just ONE of the AppleTalk routers on the market.  The nice thing
about MPR is that it installes on a PC and supports IPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.
So this is a very flexible solution.

Novell sells one called Netware Services Manager - Windows, Version 1.1.
Part number 883-002113-002.  I think it is around $5,000 and will do SNMP
stuff over IP and both SNMP and their own management protocol on IPX.  We
are getting ready to try it out.

Sounds to me like you don't realize that the Boot image ALWAYS goes away
when netx is run.  There is no way around this, since the network card can
only be used by "one" application at a time.  In this case, the RPL ROM has
control at first, and when NETX is run, it takes control of the card.

First, to avoid the "batch file missing" problem you need to put a duplicate
batch file on sys:login.  You must use EXACTLY the same file, or else when
it "jumps" to the other batch file, it'll do strange things.  Second, you
will have to make sys:login visible by all, if you execute login from the
startup batch file.

the "command.com" missing problem can be more complex.  Since you're booting
from a disk image that appears as A:, the system starts up with
COMSPEC=A:\COMMAND.COM  This needs to be changed to somewhere else, where
there will ALWAYS be a proper command.com, whether the user is logged in or
not.

problem?? The nodes will not communicate with the fileserver, the FS will
receive packets, but I cannot get it to send them out. I have tried Western
Digital ethernet cards, SMC cards and even a 3COM 505 card with no
luck. I have the exact same problem on each card. There is probably just
some little trick that I am not doing, and maybe someone has crossed this
bridge before.

I am not sure if the fact that IPX packets are on the same segment makes
a difference, even though I don't have the FS configured for them????
