Howdy!

	I just added a math coprocessor to my system (we had an extra one
lying around) and have come across some funnies in my MNET. The server does
seem to be faster, with a 0.00 Swap Average. However, the File system Cache
hit rate is 0%, but only unavailable 5000 times. Hmmm... Also, on the OS info
screen, my freemem has become 60916/4018. Anyone got any clues about this?

	Thanks in advance....

Subject:      Dial-in Troubles

We are experiencing dial-in trouble into a server that is reboot once
a week.

This server is a Compac SystemPro server running Vines 4.11(1).  It
has one ICA card that has an HDLC wan connection (4-1) to another server.
This ICA Controller Found in Slot 4.
    I/O Address 00000100, RAM Address 00E00000, Interrupt Level 11.

We have two modems hooked to 4-4, 4-3.  When looking at the server
system logs, it shows that modem port occassionally gets "Connected
to: Unknown" which doesn't allow PC-DIAL in to log in.

The only interrim patch would be to RE-load the ICA card which would
disconnect the WAN link.   So two questions:

1) Is anyone experiencing similar problems with DIAL-IN?
2) Could the WAN link cause the ICA card to ignore PC-DIAL in
   connections?


Here's a sample of the log:

	When we were using the Interlan ES3210's in servers running VINES
4.11(5) they worked great.  Ever since we upgraded those servers to VINES
5.00(x), performance degraded significantly.

The legal limit is 10 services per server. 

How would the server cope. I believe that each print service adds about
200K to process memory. Actual service load depends on the application.
If you have 500 people sending WP documents to a HP printer every 1/2
hour or so, no sweat, I suspect the server could handle a 100 print
services. If you have 5 draftsmen doing 2Meg postscript Autocad corrections,
puting out a new set of plans, that might be a different thing. 

The actual limit of 10 print services was arbitrary. It might have made
sence when you ran a 16MZ 286 server, but not today with a 50MZz 486.
I suspect that it's marketing that limits things today.

In one of the older ABUI magazines was a routine or calls to make that would
enable you to edit/save/write to a user's address book entries.  This is the
only way to do what you currently want to do.  I can't remember or find the
particular edition of the magazine in question, maybe someone out there with
all the older mags could help ?  I also have an interest in this area.

The best solution would be the ability to allow lists to contain SMTP type
addresses as well as StreetTalk addresses.

I didn't know they were supported for the server.

For the client, you need to make sure you have the patch that 
keep they from hanging on a busy network, or use the cableton
packet driver interface(CSIBAN) with a packet driver. 
Most importiant is to make sure the link status is set correctly
on the card.   

The WD/SMC cards can be a bit of a pain, but once you figure them
out they work fine. Besides what with ed discounts they are very
inexpensive.

This program allows the batch file to 'sleep' for x seconds.

Here's the doc:
sleep - make the computer wait for a number of seconds before continuing on.
this is not a good program to run under OS/2, but works well in DOS.  Usage
is:   sleep n   where n is any number up to about 32,000.  If no number is

I've seen a fair amount of traffic recently concerning issues with the

though I think they were mainly related to issues of using the card with Vines
5.0.  I have had very few problems with these cards (in Compaq Systempro's
running Vines 4.11 SMP) and the performance has been great.  I'd like to hear
about peoples experiences with the cards in Vines 4.X servers.  Thanks.

Greg,
You probably know this but I will mention it anyway.  You can specify which
STDA service you want in your profile with !SETSTDA.
I have two STDA services, one with just local names, and one with six or eight
thousand names from all over the Navy.  I set up everyone to use the "local"
STDA in their profile.
If they make the menu selection to send internet mail, I change their profile
on the fly to use the "big" STDA.
This works in regular Banyan mail.  If you are using Shark!Mail, it seems to
use the first STDA service it finds, regardless of what is in the user
profile.

These products support LPD(inbound) and LPR(outbound) printing from
banyan to unix hosts. Or for that matter any host that supports LPD/LPR.

They work on Vines 4.xx and 5.00.

Questions:
	Is FTP still supported?

	There is a windows interface to LPQ( Printer Q management),
	Is there also a command line/ASCII interface?

	Can I get Pricing/ Availability? 

I realize that the internet is not to be used for commercial purposes,
but when you are the only person writting these sorts of things, a product
announcement on the list would not out of line.

One caveat to TCP/IP Server to Server:  It's really slow (with a metric of

I don't know whether the impact in a WAN scenario would be that bad however.

Andrew,

There's an easy way to make the PCPRINT login on slow machines.  Sometime in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT BEFORE THE PCPRINT STATEMENT, put in a mode command that
says:

MODE LPT1: ,,r

The ,,r tells the computer that LPT1 is now on infinite retry.  Therefore it
should not time out before the machine gets to the PCPRINT statement.

Try it and let me know how it goes.  I've used this technique on a few print
servers here, and it always did the trick.

Good Luck

Data Bank II.  I then talked to USGS, who assured me this was not the case.
So CIA (or at least the person I talked to) doesn't know what's going on.

I also got a call back from NTDB.  She said it's due out in September, which
means they MAY get it on the October disc, but that the November disc is more
likely ( which means I won't have it in hand until late Nov., mid-Dec.)."

Subject:      Fast Modems

We have tried the very latest Kermit and Procomm, with various handshakes.

We have also tried a number ansi, fansi, nansi, zansi, etc. drivers. . .
I think these drivers are bypassed because the programs seem to be writing
directly to the screen. . .we need something that buffers ALL screen output
via MONO card to MONO monitor.

The first wave of the Project Gutenberg Email Reference Forms have gone
out to our directors and proofreaders.  However, we have not received a
copy of any of the forms we have heard of just being released out there
in netland.  If any of you can send me such forms, I would certainly be
appreciative, as it would avoid much duplication of effort.

The number of requests we have had for such forms is growing, and these
are certainly the times when we could take good advantage of such items
if they were available.

We are experimenting with some VERY fast modems. . .too fast for our
combination of port, software and mono video card to deal with.

We have replaced our serial port with a faster one. . .tho I don't
think that was the problem, as all non-video access (downloads, uploads)
went fine but characters are lost on the screen, and ansi codes

23;1H
22;80H
etc,
appeared sometimes.

We also replaced ansi.sys with some fconsole.dev, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?
