I put the line LASTDRIVE=E (for this example) in the CONFIG.SYS file.  That
ensures that F: will be the network drive (we use L: here, so I have =K).

I'm running Netware 2.2 (50 user) with the 2.2 Mac Vap.  Everything is
fine on the server side but when I have the Notify init loaded on the
Mac workstations they slow down massively whenever a server volume is
mounted.  When I leave the Notify init out of the Mac system folder
access to the server volume(s) is fine.  Anybody have a similar problem?
I tried renaming notify to ~notify but it didn't change anything.  I've
seen the problem on both a Mac Quadra 700 and a Mac IIsi, both running
system 7.0.1 (along with a bunch of other inits & cdevs.)

Bob, there's a simple answer to Compu$erve access... start a NetWare Users
Group at your college!  NetWare Users International furnishes 4 hrs/mo of
C$erve time to each organized user group as long as the group sends them an 
updated membership list each quarter.  They also furnish a copy of the NetWare
Support Encyclopedia Professional Edition (on CD).

For a netware user group starter kit, call Brian Smith @ (800) 228-4684, but
you may not get a call back until after NetWorld.  The kit contains all the
info you need to get a group started.

I upgraded the memory on an IBM PS/2 model 80 fileserver with an AMKLY
memory expansion board.  This board has 16MB of RAM.  The PS/2 has 2MB on
its motherboard, giving me a grand total of 18MB.

The PS/2 counts all of this as it boots, but Novell 3.11 sees only 15.7MB.
Can anyone enlighten me on this?

If you need further details, feel free to ask.

Subject: Linking LANs via X.25 - Help?
Date: 13 Oct 92 19:22:17 GMT
Organization: University College Dublin

Hi - I'm looking for anyone out there who has had exeprience of providing
remote users with access to a NetWare 3.11 LAN via X.25.

The situation that we have here is a 3.11 LAN here in Ireland, with a large
(e.g. some database files running to 17Mb) MRP system, and users on a 3.11 LAN
in Germany who wish to use the MRP system in Ireland, to query stock levels and
other such boring things.

The Germans want to gain access via X.25, as a 64Kb/sec leased line to Germany
would be a LOT of money.  We could slap in a router at either side, something
like a CISCO with an X.25 interface, or perhaps Newport Systems Lan2Lan router
(an X.25/T-1 etc. etc. router on a card for NetWare 3.11 servers)...  However,
I expect that performance with a 64Kb/sec line at each end would be HORRIBLE -
pulling 17Mb across such a link would be crazy!

So what I am looking for is a remote-control (a la pcAnywhere) solution via
X.25, either for a single remote user, or for a number of remote users.

I note that Newport Systems have an `XCI' X.25 adapter [as mentioned in the
NetWare Buyers Guide] that can be used with NetWare Access Server V1.22, and
with NACS V3.0, the card going into the access server and the fileserver
respectivley.

This would provide us with an ideal solution, by placing an XCI (they cost
around $2,200) card in an access server in Ireland, connected to the telephone
company's X.25 modem, and run NACS V3.0 as an NLM on the server in Germany with
an XCI card in the server, to provide sessions for the ONLAN/PC remote-control
program via the X.25 cloud to the access server on the other side.  I talked to
Newport's tech. support, and they say that this will work.

BUUTTT...  A number of you here in this group have voiced the opionion that
Access Server isn't very stable; would I b looking at problems running this
NetBios MRP application (it only requires a bog standard PC, so the virtual
8086 mode sessions should be adequate), WordPerfect V5.1, Pegasus Mail etc.
remotley??

Can anyone suggest a better solution, if this will not work properly?  I have
been told by some comms. guys that slapping a PAD in at each end of the link,
and trying to run pcAnywhere across the link will not work, due to the latency
of X.25, and they claim to have checked this with Symantec (the authors of
pcAnywhere) - is this true, as Access Server is a modified version of this
package, and Newport Systems claim that it will work with their X.25 card?

Currently we have setup a temporary solution using a pcAnywhere and a
V32.bis/V42.bis modem at each end, using dialup over PSTN, and ignoring the
X.25 PSDN connections, but the German side are anxious to move to X.25.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I read today in Info World that Novell is planning on blocking free support

wouldn't have been a major problem for me if:

1)  Netware wasn't so bug ridden.

2)  My authorized vendor was responsive (I asked about the SECURITY.NLM patch
    2 weeks ago - haven't heard from them since. Got it from a BBS.)

After already being uncomfortable with the security problem and Novells
response to it, I am looking at other network solutions like Lan Manager
for our 32 servers. The people at Novell seem to be in touch with their
customers the same way Bush is in touch with the American people....(NOT!)

	First, an answer: if you just log out, that should fix the problem.
If that doesn't do it, you can use fconsole, I think it is, to clear the
connection.  Do this to your own connection and you should be safe.

	Second, another question: is this possible?  I didn't think Novell
allowed access to another workstation's local drive.  The only way of doing
this that I've heard of is via certain 3rd-party software that will
essentially "take over" the remote machine.  NCSA telnet will allow, if
configured to do so, another to ftp to your local hard drive and muck
about, but that's not what I'm seeing above.

	If this can be done, I've some applications that could certainly
use it.

I sent this to Novell,but the mailer sent me back an error message.
I hope that this will get though to the nice folks at Novell who read
this group.

The documentation for LWP does not say that the keywords in the RESOLV.CFG
file MUST be in lowercase for the resolver to work, but they must. This
should be specifically documented since the DNS itself is designed to be
case insensitive and the "resolv.conf" file commonly found on unix 
systems is similiarly case insensitive. Alternately, the file should
not require the keywords to be lowercase.

We have found that LWP generates a broadcast packet for DNS when the
RESOLV.CFG file is found, but the contents make no sense to the application.
I am not sure that this is appropriate behavior or not. But, again this
should be documented.

Thanks for listening.

HELP

After 3 weeks I still do not have an answer from the Novell Professional
Developer program or from Novell billable tech support on what the heck
a return code 0x5c from a NetBiosSubmit of a 0x95 NCB is.

I run my app between two machines for a few minutes just fine posting
many 0x95 NCB's (receive no wait) one at a time.  As each completes,
I queue the I/O completion and submit another 0x95 NCB.

Then, out of the blue (or the red), my NetBiosSubmit completes with
a return code 0x8095 and the NCB also has 0x95 as the retcode and
cmpcode.  beside the high order bit being set, 0x5C is not a standard
NETBIOS return code and is not documented in the Netware SDK.

I'm running OS/2 2.0 with NSD201 version of the Novell Requester
over a 3Com Ethernet for MCA.

Come on Novell, this can't be that hard - I've got a code freeze in one
week and I've already missed my Beta release yesterday.

Thanks for any help,

I'm having trouble getting Charon v3.4 to talk to the rest of the world.
Here's the situation, what I know, and what I've tried:

	(0) the site is a small shop running Netware 3.11, with a Unix box
	that talks to UUNET but up until now to the rest of the shop by
	floppy disk only. It does have TCP/IP installed, and that has been
	verified to work (I can ping the only other TCP/IP box in the shop
	successfully, and do ftp back and forth between them).

	(1) Connectivity to the Charon station is OK, since the station in 
	question comes up under Netware just fine.

	(2) I've tried it with and without the packet driver:

		(a) AUTOEXEC.BAT:
				set TZ=PST8PDT
				wd8003e 0x7c 5 0x280
				ipx
				net5
				charon

			CONFIG.TEL:
				hardware = packet
				interrupt = 0
				address = 0
				ioaddr = 0

		(b) AUTOEXEC.BAT
				set TZ=PST8PDT
				ipx
				net5
				charon

			CONFIG.TEL:
				hardware = wd8003
				interrupt = 5
				address = d000
				ioaddr = 280

	(3) In both cases Charon seems to come up fine, but doesn't respond
	to telnet or ping.

	(4) I've double-checked the rest of CONFIG.TEL and CHARON.DAT, which
	look OK to me. The one thing I wasn't sure of was the netmask, and
	I tried

			255.255.255.0

	and
			0.0.0.0

	with no results either way. 

	
So: I'm puzzled. Anybody see anything obvious here?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Well, not really.  LWP provides a full TCP/IP stack.  You can run several 
other products over LWP (including a PC X server such as eXceed by HCL, 
Everywhere Access, etc.)  The only problems being that you can't use the 
stack at the same time as ODIPKT.  BTW I like WinQVT but the support
is crap!  The author is not on the Internet and the only address provided
is a PO box with no phone number! If the author was smart, he would write
it to run over ODI!  
 
It would be great is Novell released the stack to the public - it might
have a chance to become a standard.  LWP is only $5 per station for
Universities (needing 1000 copies..:) but individual copies are still
too expensive to become widely used.

We are installing Netware 386 and Netware for Mac into an existing
PC system. We (the Mac users) will be gaining access to this system
for the first time. My question is this: is there a way we can make
use of the Castelle fax server attached to this network? The fax
server is a seperate ethernet entity, rather than some peripheral of
the file server. Does anyone know of a client, by Castelle or anyone
else, which would allow a Mac to access this device? 

Thank you in advance!
