Yes, it is.  First off, make sure you have the latest versions of IPX
and *NETX.*, and the latest MS-Win31 drivers for NetWare.  All of the
necessary files are in WINUP6.ZIP on ftp.novell.com.  You should also
get ahold of the latest RCONSOLE files (both client and server).

Then you should create a .PIF for RCONSOLE.  Mine includes:

   Program Filename:    s:\system\RCONSOLE.EXE
   Window Title:        NetWare Remote Console
   Optional Parameters: (none)
   Start-up Directory:  s:\system

        May I suggest you reread the specs for your SCSI disk controller
boards. Typically only one SCSI ident is usable as the cold boot device.
This has nothing to do with NetWare, naturally, but rather with the way
IBM designed the ROM Bios procedures. One obvious fallback is to prepare
a regular DOS boot floppy with an alternative server startup .bat file.

The lost interrupt is caused by an EISA/486 thing.  Intel and Novell
have both released information about it.  The solution is something like
set display lost interrupts = off.  This would not be the reason that
your server is abending, I'd look somewhere else for that.  The lost

It is indeed a shame!  I talked someone into letting me use their
CompuServ account to get a couple of text files from the > 11
libraries, and what fun I had.  After asking for beginner instructions
and being treated to 20 minutes of a continually scrolling, non-stop-able
document (you have to have read the document to know how to stop/read
the document) I finally overcame the learning curve and found out
how to go into the libraries, only to find that, no matter what protocol
I use for downloading, half of the files are corrupted and abort after
one or two packets.  The other files were just fine.  Augh!

Now tell me, when the introduction by the author of  the file
clearly states "distribute freely", why isn't it distributed
freely.  Oh, well.  Yet another reason to send in those postcards
to support this list, who pass information along  to us in a reasonable
manner.

Not everyone who posts files to NETLIB includes the permission to
re-distribute. Since one person maintains the libraries on NETLIB and the
FTP server (and doesn't have enough time to do that in a timely way), I
don't think he'd be able to examine the READ.ME's for each to determine
the author's stance on re-posting. In addition to that, there is a
further contravention in the contract signed by all forum sponsors and
Compuserve which prohibits taking files from CIS and posting them
elsewhere.

Subject:      Some info re Pmail and X.400

The `PP' X.400 MTA mentioned in a previous posting of mine can be found at
src.doc.ic.ac.uk in the mail/pp directory. There are many files there including
a *very* large documentation file and the tarred and compressed source for the
 program. One correspondent stated that his site was using this in conjunction
with Pmail/Charon. Of course, Pmail is not an X.400 User Agent (UA), so its
communication with an MTA is via SMTP and that program must be able and
willing to convert SMTP to X.400.

As regards the PP software, I cannot say if it's free or if its use is in any
way restricted - software emanating for U.K. sources is tricky that way and
should always be checked for such legal restrictions. Nonetheless, the PP
stuff is available at that FTP site above so anyone who wants can go there
and get it if so desired.

Does anybody know a way to avoid lock-up of my PC after a network error
occurred?

The story is that we having several ccmail gateway that continously polling
the master post office. After a network error (no matter it's cable or
file server problem), the gateway computer displays the error message
and wait for user's response for this error message. Because the gateway is
not easily accessible, the gateway would be up until our administrator fix
it. It is very annoying in our situation.

Does anybody know a solution? THANKS IN ADVANCED !!!

or where it can be purchased (although I'd much rather "get" it.  Get

to perform the login if I set allow unencrypted password = yes,
which I don't like.
I have only available the NetWare System Calls for DOS v. 1.0, which

       My experience with Netbios and NetWare is the Netbios module will
generate a fatal error if a program tinkers with a net control block which
is currently owned by Netbios. The IBM specs do suggest not tinkering this
way. Some other Netbios implementations make a copy of the NCB at Int 5Ch
time and thus the error is not reported.

Hello Fellow Netters,

I am not sure how this thread started or who asked the first question, but
in response to John Beck's answer:

I have an IBM PS/2 Model 95 486DX 50Mhz file server with 2 400Mb SCSI hard
disks, 3 SCSI Host Adapter Cards, IBM BusMastering Token Ring Card, 32Mb
RAM, and 12 CD Drives.  This is a Netware 3.11 file server (250 user
version) with 125 PS/2 Model 70 PCs attached, 13 HP LaserJet Printers with
Token Ring I/O boards, and an average of 110 active connections.

We have been up and running fine for about 2 months.  We use the following
set commands:

AUTOEXEC.NCF:

set maximum packet receive buffers=500
set maximum services processes=30
set new service process wait time=1.5

STARTUP.NCF
set reserved buffers below 16 MEG=40
set minimum packet receive buffers=100


For the IBM BusMastering Token Ring Card to function properly, you also
need to make sure that you have the option disk with feature code # 93F1260
version # 1.01.

For more information on the set command, check in the Systems
Administration Manual from Novell or type set at the : on the console.

By the way,  I got this information from several different people who
helped me get this system up and running.

>  Any Ideas?

The only thing to suggest is having a special bindfix configuration that
loads DOS high, and network drivers into UMBs and preservers as much memory
as possible. You could even get a machine with some crummy old Hercules or
text monitor and extend your base memory beyond 640.

I know you can sometimes manage to bindfix with less memory, but when its
important, that's when it will fail.

Cheers,

Angus

Actually, the *real* trick is that login scripts are stored as the
ASCII files sys:mail\<user id>\login.  The system login script is
sys:public\net$log.dat.  Fire up your favorite editor and edit as you
please.  Personally, i can't stand the silly editor in the standard
NetWare utilities, so i never use it.  But then, i have a low
tolerance for any editor that doesn't look like Emacs.

Gratis hint for you NetWare 3.x administrators: sys:system\autoexec.ncf.
