Subject:      What is etherrpl.nlm?

I have long noticed that Netware 3.11 has two NLMs for remote booting:
etherrpl and tokenrpl. The manual describes how to install them but not what
exactly they *do*. Since I have never needed either to manage my remote boot
machines I wonder what they are supposed to do or how I might have some use of
them. Anyone use them or know anything about them?

Western Digital sold its network card biz to SMC (Standard
Microsystems Corp), who relabeled and continues to sell the products.
I can't seem to find their bbs number handy, but I have what I believe
is the latest "SuperDisk" for SMC/WD cards (version 4.2).  It is
available for anonymous FTP on dorm.rutgers.edu in ~pub/novell/WD_SMC
as smcdsk42.exe.

I am using nw 2.2 and the pserver vap from the upgrade package. I am
attempting to run the Pserver from a router, but am encountering problems
	if i ask the pserver to stop and start again I get the message pserver
unable to attach to file server
	if the server goes down and comes back up the pserver will not
attach.  So far I have been using pconsole to delete the print server and
build a new one each time the server is brought up.

   Kevin Auger, Novell's Product Manager for the NetWare core products was
   invited to speak at our BNUG cLANbake last month.  We asked him to talk
   about 4.0 features.  Here are some of the highlights:

   Enterprise-wide directory services will be included.

   There will be a new Security Auditing feature.  The Security Manager
   will be able to audit everyone's activities, including the Superivisor.
   They are not necessarily one and the same person.

   The NetWare WAN networking will be vastly improved with a new hierarchical
   link state router.

   Full internationalization will be included.  You pick the language and that
   is the way you see things.

   Although vague on this issue, there will be a new Network License API
   included.  This will be used for setting the count on Novell'products
   which will be delivered on CD if you want it that way.  You enter
   your special code, and the software becomes active for the right number of
   users, etc.  I also think that this API will be used for third party
   application metering (FINALLY !!!)

   In the memory protection department, any and all NLM's can be set to run in
   in the more protected (but slightly slower) Ring 3 (as opposed to Ring 0).

   SFT III will be released as an option with 4.0.  It will require a minimum,
   100 MB high speed link between servers.  Several third party vendors are
   working on cards to accomodate this.  Thomas Conrad was one mentioned.

   There will be 500 and 1000 user versions of 4.0 released.

   Well, that is my list.  Let's see how close to reality it is.  I give it
   a fairly high credibility rating.  We fed Kevin pretty good that night :-)

On the FTP-Server I found a Netware Lite upgrade 1.0 -> 1.1.
It seems, that it does not work for the german version.
Is this right? Is there a ftp-server that has the upgrade-files for the 
german version?

Thank you

Workgroup Management gives you the ability to empower a user with managing
a specific object, but not necessarily it's subordinates. Therefore, when
you give workgroup management over a group it's just that - you can manage
the group (trustees, full name, etc.), not the member's individual profiles
(which is required also to add a member to the group). For that you need to
be the manager of the particular user.

If you have AppleTalk Phase 1 routers on your network, you must configure the
router in NetWare for Mac in Transition Mode.  See Appendix B. of the NetWare

Hi, Everybody

We have installed our WINDOWS 3.0 under NETWARE 386 V3.11.
Here is the question :

  We want to allow different working environments in WINDOWS for
different users, such as defining different groups, loading different
fonts, displaying different colors for both monochrome and VGA etc.

Are there any solutions? Or I am dreaming too much?
If for WINDOWS 3.1, What does the story go?

Any suggestions/advices are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the `minimum packet receive buffer' setting? This might be too

to 100 when I attached some Macs to the network. The symptoms before I did this
were the same as yours - disconnections with no particular pattern or sequence.

******************** NOTES from Dave Kearns (DKEARNS @ TCC) at 8/31/92 4:23p

After you run NET5, check the errorlevel. If its 1, then unload the
drivers.  ODI drivers are unloadable, not sure about the IPX you are using.

If you have installed Windows 3.1, it includes an interesting and, so far
as I can see undocumented, utility called MSD.EXE (MicroSoft Diagnostics).
It includes some option for examining memory.

It may help you out in a pinch....

The 8/24/92 PC Week's Katt's Column claims Novell is telling its larger

If your company is *VERY* interested, I hope it is also *VERY* wealthy ;)

I have a IIG on Ethernet and had no trouble hiding it with the -h switch

printer `unhid' itself and would not hide again. This is a known flaw in
the atps support. I believe the newest release of the Mac NLM (3.011?) has
some correction for this but this will not be available for the earlier version.

Subject:      RE: Netware for Mac/AppleTalk Zones
X-To:         NOVELL@SUVM.SYR.EDU

Thanks for all the help. However, I think I may have asked the wrong question:


"...the server, when placed on the backbone seems to be interupting network
admin from reasigning/changing AppleTalk zones..."

It's not that Admin wants to change or reassign AppleTalk Zones, it is that
they want to change the Zone in which Ethernet Apple File Servers appear
without changing network wiring.  By using the Network control pannel, one can
change the default zone of the ATalk server.  However, the NW4Mac doesn't allow
this to happen.  In my Novell AUTOEXEC.NCF I only use the Zone in which the NW
file server appears in the LOAD APPLETLK command.  I am assuming two things
needed to correct this problem:

1. Having two NICs in the NW file server, I need to BIND one the zone in which
it physically exists and the other to a zone in which I want the workstations
attached to it to appear.

2. That I need to specify ALL zones in the LOAD APPLETLK command.

What say you... am I on the right track?

Cheap to buy, expensive to own.  It took me three years, but I've
finally got my management to understand that reading the menu from
right to left doesn't work with networks.  Unfortunately, I now
have three years worth of "cheaped-out" projects to work with or
upgrade.

If you're using these to drive LaserJet II or III printers, take a
look at the Castelle JetPress.  It's cheaper than a LanPress (if you
only need one printer per location), fits in the LJet's "Optional I/O"
slot (so it's invisable), and works just as well.  I love them!

Subject:      Re: Pburst - dream or reality

Will PBURST improve the throughput of an IP tunnel?

The overhead of the protocol encapsulation (IPX within IP) and
the design of the ODI drivers induces some degregation in performance.

I don`t expect PBURST to improve that aspect, but will it improve it
in other areas to compensate for the tunnel?

Thanks.

     What I'd like to see is some sort of on-line support organized like DECs
'Software Dispatch' where updates are listed chronologically in a cumulative
index.  Each new index entry would be accompanied by a short tech note
describing the patch or new version of the public/system utility and the
directory on the novell ftp server where the file resides.
     A LISTSERV mirror would also be handy, like the way NDSUVM1 and RPIECS
mirror simtel20.

     Thanks for making the effort to improve service!
