For each of the login names that you do _not_ use regularly you need to go
into the extended setup.  There you will find a box for a forward login
name (Internet as well).  You can then set the 'switches' to your
preference for actual delivery and confirmation.  I hae found it useful to
have the mail _only_ delivered to the forwardee - it save space.
If you have not got access to the extended setup then the mail supervisor
will have to go in and do it for you.

Tricky.  I initially want to say that it can't be done, but IMPORT/EXPORT
sounds like a promising way to hack around it.  Maybe batch-ify the mail
process so the user does a background 'export' to your target post office
whenever they exit the mail program?  You'd wind up exposing the p.o. password
in the batch file, but it might be worth it.  That way you "borrow" the user's
cpu for the purpose of being the mail agent to finish the delivery process.

I Dunno.

Why bother? NW 3.11 already has a screensaver built in. Unless you have
an aversion to a string of colored blocks crawling around on your monitor...

Besides, a TSR wouldn't be usable on a dedicated server, you'd need an NLM.

    Well, you've actually found a bug in the product.  On Monday the problem
will have gone away.  This is rather embarrassing, but there is a bug in the
product that causes false alarms to occur in January :-(.  The explanation
is not a simple calendar related issue, but is actually an obscure bug.
    The good news is that the problem was fixed about 1 day after we first
found it, the first Monday of January, and the fix is available from
resellers, Compu$erve, or by calling 800-NetWare if you don't have access
to Compuserver, and the product will now work 12 months out of the year,
instead of 11 :-)

Not to my knowledge.  You see, XPC is a DOS TSR that listens on the Telnet 
server port (TCP:23).  While the TCP/IP kernel is reentrant, and offers a 
virtual machine interface that allows multiple DOS applications to share the 
stack, it can't handle two applications asking for the same TCP port number.

What the second XPC should have said is "port in use", or some such.

I'm not sure that Windows will provide the multitasking muscle you're 
looking for, but what we'll need to do next time is run a sort of 
Windows-based INETd thing that will spawn a new %COMSPEC% and an instance of 
XPC whenever one Telnets to your machine...  I believe B&W's Telnetd works 
this way.  We spent more time with the X-Client aspect, and didn't have time 
for the INETd approach.

Sure  but  you  may have to install it on a hard disk machine and then copy
it  onto  a  floppy.  As  I  remember  it installs to C:\NWLITE and doesn't
offer  an  option  to  install  anywhere  else.  This  doesn't  seem  to be
necessary though, as long as the directory is on the path then all is well.
You will probably want to delete half the installed files for the floppy
version as they aren't required and take up precious space.

Sorry, a program  running on a workstation has the same rights as the user.  
But you could have a station off in a locked room that scans for new 
"transaction files" and appends to the main file as soon as they are closed.

This is why running the Apple Installer off a Netware server ("doing a network
install") is not recommended. The Installer matches file versions using
date/time.

I think that Netware for the Mac is way overrated, especially since it is
regularly voted number one by MacWorld readers (idiots?).

Yes. This is exactly the case.

No, 30 physical connections per 10Base2 segement. Those 30 physical
connections (one would be the server) can attach to 16-port 10BaseT hubs,
giving about 464 logical connections (nodes). I wouldn't load one

Internal bridging is quite fast. The primary bottleneck in a server is 
the I/O bus, and having intelligent or well-buffered adapter cards is
the best way to relieve the constriction. I'm not sure what is meant
by "2 hops from the root", though; anyone on either segement will be
no hops away from the servers' executive (i.e., they'll have equal 
access; you wouldn't gain speed by having them all on one segement).
If the users on segement "a" want to access a host or another server on
segement "b", then they'd be *one* hop away. Odds are they wouldn't 
notice; I can't tell the difference....

I don't have benchmarks or formulas, but I do have four servers, each
of which has *five* NICs installed, supporting a manufacturing line.
They work well (servers are 486SX-25 w/8MB and a 540MB SCSI), fast,
and reliably. I'll probably be installing a couple more in the near
future, the way things are going.

We are running a Netware 3.11 server with Netware NFS v 1.2
loaded to support anonymous ftp.  Our purpose in doing this
is to operate a public access site for distribution of public
affairs materials from JPL's space missions (it's at
pubinfo.jpl.nasa.gov (128.149.6.2), if anyone is interested).

In the 24 hours since the site was announced, we've had
more than 500 ftp connections.  A couple of users have sent
me email about specific problems:

-- A couple of people say that some Unix commands don't work.
If I ftp to the site from a Unix host, I can use either "ls"
or "dir" to get a directory listing.  However, if I try options
with ls (say, "ls -la"), it doesn't work.  A user in Germany
connecting from a Unix host said he couldn't get ls to go
at all.  Finally, another user said he was trying some Unix-
style features like recursive directories that didn't work.
Is there any clear documentation anywhere on what commands
FTPSERV.NLM accepts that I can pass on to these folks?

-- One user wonders if we can do a re-sort on some of the
directories so that the index files are easier to spot.  I
have a utility called nds.exe which supposedly does a 
directory sort on a network directory, but I notice that
sometimes the changes don't seem to take.  In the past I've
been led to believe that this has to do with the Novell OS's
dynamic directory space allocation or something along those
lines, and that there "isn't" a way a directory can be
re-sorted and changes written.  Is this the case?  Is there
any hope of having a capability in the future (i.e. perhaps
Netware 4.0)?

Thanks for any comments.

I do not know a maximum, but I imagine that if you have to 100 user

allow 100 simultaneous users.  Lots of Ram and fast disk access
are probably key.

An EISA bus helps the server speed a bunch.

Gee, this must be one of those "value-added" places.  Novell does
sell a 100 user license for 3.11

My advice is to find a different Novell dealer.

I have a 386/33 with 16 MB of RAM.  We have had up to 75 users
