Rich will correct me if I am wrong but I imagine the UNIXware personal
edition will come with utilities containing similar functionality to
SYSCON, PCONSOLE and your other favorites.

As for X, the X server that is the UNIXware personal edition screen, keyboard
and mouse plus the X clients that are the UNIXware applications themselves
are kind of interesting. They use X over the Novell IPX protocol as apposed
to the more "traditional" TCP/IP protocol. I was chatting to a Univel guy
on one of our trade show booths on this very subject and the following
facts are (were?) true.

  1) The UNIXware X clients speak to the UNIXware X server using
     a shared memory interface when they are running on one and
     the same machine. In other words, it's fast and no networking
     protocols get "in the way".

  2) When the UNIXware X Clients (applications) and X-Server are on
     different UNIXware machines, IPX is used as the underlying transport.
     I imagine they actually use SPX (Rich?).

  3) The UNIXware X over IPX implementation *is* compatible with
     Quarterdecks Desqview/X which is the other famous X over IPX
     implementation. This means you can run DOS apps over on a Desqview/X
     system and have them displaying on your UNIXware desktop. It also
     means you you can run UNIXware apps on, say, the UNIXware Application
     server and have them displaying on your Desqview/X desktop.

Pretty powerfull stuff really. It certainly kicks Windows NTs bottom in
terms of raw network computing functionality, even if our chums up in
Redmond do manage to deliver on the few simple networking scraps that
they have promised for NT.

Where was I? Oh yes.... if the UNIXware X implementation is capable of
using TCP/IP (when installed) as well as IPX then X "things" could go
on between UNIXware and your SPARCstations too. I forgot to ask about
that during my chat so perhaps Rich can jump in?

I have had no problems reaching 1-800-NETWARE or 1-800-RED-EXAM concerning
the CNE tests.  I have taken the first two tests (MS-DOS and Networking
Technologies) without the classes nor workbooks, but I did study on my
own by reading various LAN and Data Communication books to understand
the subject matter.

Novell FAXed me a list of their course objectives for all of the core
& OS courses which relate directly to the required CNE exams.  I used that
as my basis for study.  I have had 4 years experience on Netware 2.15
and 386 v3.11, so that also comes into play when I study for the
exams since Netware 386 v3.11 System Manager and Advanced System
Manager are the two of the seven exams (FYI: 7 exams total are required
to complete successfully to get a CNE certification: 3 core, 2 Operating
System, and 2 electives).  The electives require the Novell Self-Paced
Workbooks to study for, unless you have experiences in running the
electives' subject (e.g. Netware for NFS, LAN Workplace for DOS) in a
Netware environment.

I suggest you contact your nearest Novell Education Center...they
should be listed in the yellow pages under "Computer Instruction".
If you have any specific questions, please e-mail them to me.  Thanks.

Subject: Server problems running SALVAGE
Originator: gogan@hermes.oit.unc.edu
Organization: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 23:45:23 GMT


We've got a user here who's trying to recover MANY deleted files from deleted
directories using SALVAGE (we're talking about 1200-1400 at a time .... don't ask). 
During that process, he eventually hangs, and everyone else currently logged in to
that server can continue to READ from the server volume, but can no longer WRITE to
it (their workstations totally hang at the mere mention of a write activity,
regardless of what they were doing).  If they try and reboot any of those hung
workstations, they cannot connect back to the server ("File Server has no free
connection slots" -- even though only 6-10 connections are in use).  If they connect
from elsewhere, things are fine UNTIL they try and write to the server.

The only solution at that point is to reboot the server.  Then once the net
administrator starts running SALVAGE again to pick up where he left off, comes a
time when this process repeats.

Here's the basic info:
 NetWare 386 v3.11 (250 user version)
 PS/2 Model 80 - 12MB RAM
 IBM PS/2 SCSI Controller (using PS2SCSI.DSK driver - dated 2/12/91)
 HP 1 GB hard drive
 IBM token ring adapter
 3Com 3C527 Ethernet controller

Any clues or things to try at this end would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
For what it's worth, didn't see anything in the NetWare CDROM Support Encyclopedia
that seemed to fit.
Thanks in advance.

	I seem to be having a problem with my NFS <--> Netware permissions
setting, either that or there is a bug somewhere.  I have an NFS volume set
up under netware which is being exported to a Sun SPARC running 4.1.1 and
a PC running SCO ODT 2.0.  The problem is that once I create a file on the
NFS volume, I can't change the owner of the file, or the group ownership.
However, I don't seem to have any problem changing the permissions modes.
The file (and directory) are owned by root, and I am logged in as root as well.
	I have setup the Sun and 386 as trusted hosts, with root access, and
I have specified that the NFS CAN modify Netware attributes.  I have also
entered the users and groups using NFSADMIN on the Novell side.
	Does anyone have a solution for this?  I'd appreciate any feedback.
I think we have covered all the "obvious" things but something is missing.

Thanks in advance.

hhmmm, well the way we do it is to put the password in a file and pipe it to
the login / attach command.  I think someone already posted this solution 
ealier - but simply do ...

LOGIN USERNAME/SERVERNAME < PASS.DAT

where PASS.DAT is on the local drive with the password in it.
Its not a very secure method .. but it works !

Summary: Buy Fax Hardware & Software for Netware 2.15 or 3.X
Keywords: Fax
Organization: University of Virginia
Distribution: usa
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 03:51:10 GMT

I need to purchase fax hardware and software for a 20+ user Netware network
running Netware ver. 2.15 (which will probably be upgraded to 3.X).  I read
a review in BYTE about a year ago which reviewed 6 or so packages all of
which were deficient in one way or another.  I suspect that much new
software & hardware have since appeared and I'd like your recommendations.
From the BYTE article, the Intel Satisfaxion (sp?) card was recommended for
the hardware.  The software for stand-alone PC's was great, but for NetWare
workstaions, it sucked.

Our requirements:

Must work with Windows 3.X (we have 3.0, but will be upgrading to 3.1).
Must allow each workstation user to have her own directory.
Must be easy to use for _out-bound_ faxes.
Must be affordable for 20+ users.
Must handle Windows documents and graphics, e.g., Word documents, Excel
spreadsheets, and normal ASCII text files.

Our wishlist:

Can output to HP LaserJet.
Can direct incoming faxes to users.
Can use our print server PC, i.e., does not need its own PC to be a server.

Thanks for any info/recommendations that you have.

If you are interested in what I find out, drop me a line & I will mail you a
summary.

We have tried the DOS SET without success.

Our login script sets the variable the first time
through, but if another login is run and an attempt
is made to alter the variable, it fails.
We are running with DOS 5.0

Well, last time I checked LANSUP.COM was a driver for the IBM LAN Support

Sorry, couldn't resist...

BTW - this isn't the only problem LANSUP has: it still refuses to coexist

It's small (2.8K), can be loaded into high memory using DOS5/QEMM etc., can be

non-graphics 80x25 mode, won't pause the machine etc.
