I have-ne done it myself, but was thinking that we might use the following in
the future:

A machine running Novell's MHS, with a cheapo Rockwell-chipset V32.bis fax/data
internal modem in the dedicated MHS machine, running an 3rd party add-on
MHS/Fax gateway; said gateway would use the class 1/2 fax capabilites of the
same modem used to carry std. MHS traffic between hubs.

I received an Email reply to a query on what gateway products are available,
from a lady in Novell's messaging division, saying that there are loads of such
gateways available.

Also, a company here in Ireland, East Coast Software do a product that allows a
fax modem in a w/station to be shared, for use with WinFax Pro.  I've never
actually seen the product, but all the magazine reviews (including Byte) gave
it the thumbs up..

Hope this helps some,

	This is a bug that was fixed in the latest release of

This method works great if ALL of your users have a LASTDRIVE of E.  Netware
will use the next available drive as the network drive.  So if your last 
drive is set to S then LOGIN.EXE would be in T:\LOGIN\LOGIN.EXE.  I have 
not actually seen anyone do this, but you might keep this in your 
troubleshooting bag of tricks.  I have used both methods and they both 
work just as well.

LOAD REMOTE <password>  on the fileserver, then at a workstation run

Hi

A friend of mine has a question on Novell networks.

They have Novell Netware version 2.2, non-dedicated version for 10
users. The problem is that to copy a file from node A to node B,
one has to go through a central node. Is there a waya around this?
He said there is some sort of E-mail software that lets you get around
this problem.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

What Novell =was= calling 3.2 is now going to be Neware 4.0. Some of Novell's

Hi,
There appears to be a bug with Novells LOGIN program.
If you use the SET command it only works if the 
environment variable does not already exist.

If there is an existing variable , say MN=ONE
and you try to SET MN=TWO it fails.
If there is no pre-existing env variable it works.

What is the entry of the .rhosts file look like? SHould be of the form

host account


where host is the host name of the LWP workstation and account is the 
unix account being used.

Then you should obviously have permission to those utilities you want to

Also the .rhosts file is in lower case.

Curious and curiousier, the LAN Support Program (at least the latest stuff)
uses NDIS underneath it, so why need an NDIS driver to run on top of it.

ie. already using LAN Support Program on top of NDIS, so just change the NDIS

The technical term for what you're describing here is "canonical
order".  As you may know, Ethernet and Token-Ring transmit the bits in
each byte in a different order.  Normally this doesn't matter, but
when a bridge is placed between an Ethernet and a Token-Ring, those
MAC addresses transmitted as data, such as the MAC addresses in the
ARP packets you're looking at, become a problem.  The solution within
the industry is to adopt a "canonical order" so that any MAC address
transmitted in data is always passed in the order it would be passed
on Ethernet.  Hence your bit flipped MAC addresses.

The other side of the story is that, although canonical order is
widely recognized as the "right" thing to do, there is a very large
installed base of Token-Ring software written and deployed before
canonical order was invented.  This makes it nearly impossible to
actually *use* canonical order on any given Token-Ring.  When
implemented at all, it's almost always optional.  In fact, native
order is almost always the default.

>The problem probably comes from the fact that support for 802.5 NDIS drivers

Not quite.  In 802.3 and DIX, the bit swapping just isn't necessary.
The normal MAC addresses are already in canonical order on 802.3 nets.

>I think LANSUP.COM needs an upgrade, or is there some workaround?

As i say, i know nothing about LANSUP, but my guess is that there's a
command line switch of some sort.  I can't imagine why else there'd be a
single bit to control the order except to support a switch to let the
user set the flag one way or the other.  Since you're already poking
around disassmbling the code, you might see if you can find that switch.
