We were using NEC DOS 3.3 without problems.  But all these machines had
hard drives (we never used it with remote boot machines).  Secondly the
hard drive machines use batch files for login/logout which restores the
COMSPEC= variable.  Are yours remote boot?

Subject: Both protocols IPX/SPX and TCP/IP on OS/2 machine ?
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 19:33:17 GMT

Hi,

in my new project I need to have both protocols, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP, on one
OS/2 machine with one network adapter (16-bit SMC). At the moment I am
running OS/2 1.32. I will update to OS/2 2.1x later. The TCP/IP product I
am using is IBM TCP/IP 1.21 for OS/2 1.32 and later.

IPX/SPX is needed to connect to a Netware 3.1 server for both file access
and access to an Oracle DBMS running on the Netware server.

TCP/IP will be used for an RPC-based application and to import/export
NFS file systems.

I heard about ODI drivers for OS/2. Is that what I need or are there any
better multi-protocol solutions ?

The same problem will arise for DOS/Windows clients at a later stage of the
project. Is there a similar solution ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

-------------------
Darrin,
        Support for the 3C501 board (and others of its vintage) will fade
away as you are noticing. The reason it that old generation of hardware is
unsuited to today's more heavily used networks, and the price of modern boards
is so low that little/no effort goes into supporting the older units. These
old boards have characteristics which make them undesirable on a fast lan
so you'd be better off upgrading to currently available boards (at say the
$150 price level, give or take a little). The NE2000 units are nice and
inexpensive, but watch out because clones thereof frequently don't get it
quite right (spend you money once, etc); ditto for the 8-bit NE1000.
        Just as a matter of interest, today ODI board drivers come either
from the board maker (normal) or a few from Novell. Folks are not writing
free ODI board drivers.

Available from IBM or Novell tech support. Are you sure this is what you

Subject: HP JetDirect and Mosaic, Compatible?
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1992 17:34:06 GMT

We purchased a Jet Direct card for our HP IIIsi so it could link up by
ethernet to our printserver, which is running Mosaic.  In the manual, it
says that it should work, but the HP card doesn't see the printserver.  We are
a relatively simple network (50 machines, two printers, two file servers) and
even with ourselves isolated, the printer doesn't see the print server even
though they are, in fact, sitting right next to each other.  The manuals for
the HP don't include a telephone number, so I called Mosaic, and they did
not answer the phone after three tries, nor return my call.  

So my question is, what's up?  Also, does anyone know who I should call?
As a University, we ordered the card directly from HP, so there is no dealer
involved.

Subject:      Cannot run RPL on baseband

We recently upgraded our server in a student lab form v2.2 to v3.11
netware.  Our first surprise was that ipx and netx will no longer work
over the baseband network - only ODI will do it.

My real problem, however, is that we also cannot remote (diskless) boot
under 3.11 either.  I have downloaded the PCN2L file from compuserve
(v1.17) which claims that it solves the problem, namely that the workstation
cannot get the remote image and simply counts in the upper-right hand corner
of the screen.  It doesn't work.  Anyone else out there that has found
a fix for this?

Consider the large numbers of people involved in some

If you have to get everyone to sign an agreement then you're
going to get a lot of them pissed off because you're questioning
their integrity.  Even those that are inclined to copy the

I guess I don't understand the connection between WANs and

individuals then there is no issue.  If you can't trust someone
then don't allow access.  If you feel that license violations are
an issue then have everyone that has access execute an agreement
stating that they won't violate the terms of the license
agreement.
There is nothing else that you need to do.  You can not be held
liable for a third party's actions as long as you make reasonable
efforts to abide by the terms of your license agreement.

	I had a very bad luck with this backup unit, I had to put an
effort to restore all the trustee and group information and of course
there is no information in regards to disk space restriction.The mail ID
directories are there but don't know who own them. The ownership of the
files are everything belong to the supervisor instead of individual
users and the list goes on and on. Everything I mentioned above were
gone and I ended up restoring them manually. I just don't trust with
that unit. The technical person give me access their BBS to download 
their beta test but still failed. They claimed it works
with version 2.1x therefore they gave me the BBS number which supposedly
to work with Novell 3.11 but I had no luck. I don't have a contact with
the technical person anymore since about a month or so therefore I don't
know what is their current situation about the Novell 3.11 solutions. 
However, it's good for backing up the DOS files and we use it here for
backing up our faculty and staff machines. I just bought Trakker 250
which is manufactured by Colorado and still having difficulty but am
still waiting their technical person's response to solve my problem.
Anyway, that's all I can comment about the Backpack maybe someone's
else on the net have any luck with this and I surely would like to hear that.

Subject:      SYS:MAIL directories on NW 3.11

          Hello to all!

          I have a question about the subdirectories Netware makes for
          each user in the SYS:MAIL directory.

          First some background:

          We have a 3.11 server with about 350 users defined and
          200 workstations.  Recently we had a hard disk crash and
          could't get a full restore (don't ask!) so we had to restore
          the bindery from an old copy (using BINDREST).

          When BINDREST was run it didn't create the SYS:MAIL
          subdirectories for each user (only for SUPERVISOR, netware
          id 00000001 and subdirectory SYS:MAIL\1).  That didn't seem
          to be a problem since we are using cc:Mail and don't user
          individual login scripts (we are running Netware Naming
          Service.)

          Once the server was back up and running CAPTURE seemed to
          take quite a bit longer, maybe 6-7 seconds versus 1 or so
          before the crash.  After some exploring it seems that the
          capture works right away if a user has a directory in
          SYS:MAIL.

          So, finally my question:

          1.  Why does capture take longer when a user does not have a
          subdirectory in SYS:MAIL?

          2.  How can I easily restore those subdirectories for each
          user without doing it by hand.

          Please direct any comments to me directly if possible.

          Thanks in advance.

At the risk of adding unnecessarily to the list traffic, I would
like to make one modification and two additions to Stephen Dunn's
excellent list of suggestions for improving the readability of
messages sent to the list.

   1)  For the sake of those of us using Pegasus, please keep the
       length of message lines <= 78. not 80, as Stephen suggested.
       The pretty Pegasus message frames use up two columns.

   2)  Please paragraph your message!  There is nothing quite so daunting
       as a screen full of text without any white (errr, make that
       blue) space.

   3)  If you have a spell-checker, please use it.

Yes, KillConn has an option to clear all NOT-LOGGED-IN connections on a server.
But this has to be done manually, and I recall that whoever asked about clearing
these connections wanted to do it automatically. The NLM to do this is
NLICLEAR which is in enhance.zip on disk 1 of the 3 update disks Novell
distributed about 6 months ago. I have not used this NLM, but here is the
description of it.

NLICLEAR.NLM:  Not-Logged-In CLEAR

Why use NLICLEAR?

NLICLEAR is an NLM which deletes or "clears" unauthenticated user
connections for single-user server licenses.  Unauthenticated
connections cannot be reused until they are cleared.  NLICLEAR
allows you to reuse idle connections by periodically deleting them.

Unauthenticated user connections occur when:

      A user specifies a login name after a LOGIN or ATTACH
      command, but does not enter a password to complete the
      login procedure.

      A user logs out without logging in elsewhere.

      The shell establishes a connection with the file server, but
      no login is attempted.

In these cases, the connection is made to the server, but no
authentication is granted to the user except to complete the
login or to login elsewhere.

To implement NLICLEAR.NLM use the following command format and
parameters:

Command format

LOAD [path] NLICLEAR [parameter...]

Command parameters

Replace path with a full path to the directory containing the
NLICLEAR module.  Begin with a DOS drive letter or a NetWare
volume name.  If you do not specify a path, the operating system
looks for NLICLEAR in SYS:SYSTEM.  (Use SEARCH to set up
additional paths for automatic searching.)

Replace parameter with one or more of the following parameters.
