Subject:      IBM 4029-30 Print Problems

I'm experiencing problems printing with an IBM 4029-30 laser printer
in postscript mode through COM1 on our Netware 3.11 fileserver (PS/2 95)
Occasionally, a print job will only be partially printed -- small
print jobs will disappear completely.  Its behavior indicates a
possible handshaking problem, but after checking the printer and file
server settings everything seems okay.  The print server is set to
COM1, 9600, 8n1, no XON/XOFF.  The printer is set to 9600, 8N1, and DSR.

Once the printer is moved to LPT1 on the file server, the problem clears up.
Is there a known problem with the COM port on the IBM 95 or the 4029 printer?

Thanks in advance.

Check out NWHAT4 (included). It is a batch file enhancement tool that gets
various pieces of information from a Novell network and returns this
information to a batch process in the form of an error level or by writing
result to the DOS environment variable. Nice piece of software. I use it a
lot myself. It is included in the book "NetWare Power Tools" by Mike
Edelhart.

I have never tried to send a file by Pegasus E-Mail. Here it comes.

As the name implies, ROUTEGEN generates a simple router.  Novell used to
call it a bridge but it is really a router.  If you are configuring your
campus router, configure it for IPX routing and make sure you assign a
different network number for each segment (use the IP subnet number
converted to HEX to ensure uniqueness).

FLeX/IP is the Netware NFS product without the NFS capabilities. Therefore
is supports bi-directional LPD printing, FTPserver that can be a gateway
to non-311 netware servers and an xconsole tool that allows rconsole
type functionality from an X-station.

Nope. It only loads as a set of NLM's on 3.11 OS.

It is listed at about $2,000 compared to the $5,000 for Netware NFS.

: Are there other features other that FTP which it enables?

A few monthes ago I upgraded from Netware 2.15 using LANSpool to Netware
3.11 using PSERVER 1.22r.  At the same time I changed the printers from LONG
serial lines to Intel NETPORT II as remote printers.  Since this time,
one of my printers has occasional problems printing from windows.
The printer is a postscript NEC Silentwriter 890.  It works perfectly 95% 
of the time, but the other 5% strange errors pages are printed out: t

Offending Command = <various things here>
Error = nametype : <undefined or syntaxerror>

Stack = <more stuff here>


I think it is having problems with the PS translation,
but I'm not sure.  I've swapped NetPorts (three times), I've changed
printers (to a HP LaserJet III with a postscript cartridge), and I
pulled a brand new thin-net run to the netport.  Then I called Microsoft
to see if they have any suggestions - they told me that windows does not
support remote printing with Netware.  So I switched the netport to
print server mode, and the problem still occurs.  

Any suggestions are welcome.  I've run out of ideas.  Everything is fine
with a non-postscript printer, but because of in-house politics all our
printers are postscript.  Also, the printer is in a location where it
cannot be connected directly connected to a computer as a permanent
solution.  Thanks in advance for any help.  I

Yes.  I use an MT661 emulating an Epson connected to a PS/2 50z via a
serial cable.  Unfortunately it doesn't work very well when attached to
the network with rprinter.  We print lots of things with a combination of
normal and condensed print and it slows to a crawl, even going offline
(according to pserver).  Did you have specific questions, or just wondering
if anybody else uses them?

Subject:      Passing A Password

    I've got a rather unique situation where I need to be able to include
    an account's password in a command line within a batch file (or through
    a BASIC program).

    I've tried using DOS piping commands ("|" and "<") but I can't get them
    to work on network drives.  E.g., the commands

    ECHO password | LOGIN username       and

    LOGIN username < password.txt     [password.txt contains the password]

    result in the system hanging.  They work from a:, b:, or c: drives, but
    that doesn't help me in my situation.

    I've also tried using STACKEY to stuff the keyboard buffer.   E.g.,

    STACKEY "LOGIN username" CR "password" CR

    This works, but it is very vulnerable to interruption with CTRL-C.
    When interrupted it displays the password for all to see.

    I've heard of a util that may have come from PC MAGAZINE that did just
    this, but the person I heard this from said that it doesn't work with
    DOS 5.0, which is just what I'm running.

    Can anyone shed any light on my situation?  Surely this has come up
    before...

We were having that problem until we moved the ETHERNET_802.3 frame
BEFORE the ethernet_ii frame in the net.cfg.  After that, odipkt's first
parameter needs to be increased by one because the logical board for
the ethernet_ii frame is now board #2 instead of board #1.

Hope this helps

Subject:      Re: Lanspool 3.5a

I use Intel LanSpool 3.5a in my Netware 3.11 Network

The Workstations are allmost 486 33 MHz with 16 MByte of Memory.

I run MS-DOS 5.0 with the Novell ODI-Stuff

LSL          NetWare Link Support Layer  v1.21 (920130)
NE2000   Novell NE2000 Ethernet MLID  v1.34 (910603)
IPXODI    NetWare IPX/SPX Protocol  v1.20 (911120)
NETX      NetWare V3.26 - Workstation Shell (920211)


Now my Problem:
LanSpool Node is configured with the polled driver (IRQ-Driver stops the
machine)

Under DOS the PrintJobs spool is very fast, but when this workstation run
MSWindows 3.1 (Yes, this device=vspld.386 is in the system.ini installed)
on some machine the printing is slow, I mean realy slow.
A PrintJob with 20 kByte need 5 Minutes!!!!!

All testet computers have the same motherboard, hardware installed.

Is there any workaround for this problem?


      We had the same experience, Bernard, until we went with interrupt
      driven servers.  Then things went lickety split.  You may need to
      check that your parallel and com ports on on the standard IRQs
      before you try this.

      So here's another observation: using the above configuation (with
      SMC cards instead) the print server prints fine in the initial DOS
      session, prints fine when Windows is started, and then chokes when
      printing after returning to DOS.  (yeah, I know Billy Gates says
      to stay in Windows all day long, but we have a job to do...)

      The Lanspool people would like us to send in yet another copy of
      our autoexec.bat, config.sys, system.ini, win.ini, and bank
      balance.  (In other words, they don't know.)


      FLAME ON - - - -

      As an aside, Lanspool and Arcserve are two products with which we
      have (unsuccessfully) put considerable energy into to work out all
      the bugs.  Now, when we seem so damn close to having them work
      consistently, their technical people seem to have become absorbed
      in Netware 4.0 development.  Thus, the best response we get from
      technical support nowadays is a request for mounds of
      documentation and equal amounts of patience.

      I have made the decision not to buy any additional LAN components
      until we see 4.0 and what the third party folks have to offer
      then.  I loathe the idea of breaking my butt to troubleshoot a new
      feature and then turn around and replace it within a couple
      months.

Hi all,

There has been an occasional request in this group for a Word Perfect
Office to SMTP/PMail gateway. Well, I have found one!

The product is call IGate. It consists of 2 programs - one a server
running on a dedicated PC and the other, a program running on the WPO
Connect Server. The SMTP gateway runs on top of packet drivers (no
extra commercial software needed) and the whole setup is extremely
easy to configure. I have had mine up for a couple of weeks now with
no problems. It even handles message attachments, with auto UUencode
and UUdecode. Addressing is also very easy.

If you don't want to connect to the Internet, but need to link WPO to
PMail, then this gateway will also work for that (an alternative to
running MHS). Just set up your Charon and IGate to send SMTP messages
to each other!

It is a commercial product and for more information and/or a demo,
contact :

Subject:      Re: reboot from software....

Hi,

To reboot a Pc from within a software you shall do the following :

1) for a warm boot store the value 1234h in 0040:0072h
2) for a cold boot store the value 0000h in the same location (0040:0072h)

jump to ffff:0000h.

That's all.
