==============================================================================
Hi everyone,

Before I spill any more tears, I'd be grateful for advice.  I have
a HP-Laserjet 2P connected (via parallel port) to our 3.11 file
server.  This happily served our DOS machines for some
time, and even our Macs could use it (via a product called MOSAIC FOR
MACINTOSH (Insight Corp.)), though at some loss in print quality.
(Macs are connected via a DL2000 card and Netware for
Macintosh v3.011)

Then I wanted to give our DOS users the benefits of the HP PostScript
cartridge, and after creating some new print jobs with PRINTCON, this
is working superbly.

Unfortunately, I am having problems with printing from the Macs.
Initially, I'd thought that this would be a doddle, cause aren't
Laserwriters et al PostScript-based?  Well, I followed the
instructions in the NW4M book and set up an entry in the ATPS.CFG
file as follows;

      -o HP2P-PostScript_Q -l -wb -s -f hplaser

OK, my problems start here...

1)  What printer icon should I choose in the Macintosh Chooser?
    The LaserWriter one works, in a fashion...
    Some fonts are not correctly reproduced; I assume that this
    is a result of differences between the inbuilt fonts of my
    PostScript cartridge and the *real* LaserWriter.

2)  Can I download a Mac chooser icon which looks like a HP2P from
    anywhere?

3)  How does the Mac get to know what fonts are available in a
    Netware-served printer?

4)  Should someone use a font which is not part of the HP/PostScript
    set, how does the Mac download it?  (I'm not a PostScript guru,
    you can tell...)

5)  Finally (and confusingly) the Netware for Macintosh book says
    (Table 8-8, p264) that the "Normal form is associated with all
    Macintosh print jobs".  I created a form called Normal with
    form no. 20, and this is fine for the DOS-generated print jobs.
    However, ATPS-generated printout always requests form 0, which
    is SO ANNOYING that I've not told our Mac users how to access
    this printer.  I'm already using form 0 for something else...

OK, Thanks everyone in advance,

Allan Green,

Subject: Arcserve "Losing" tape Drive
Organization: Department of Neurosurgery, University of Minnesota
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 19:55:45 GMT

Have a rather interesting problem.  Running an Everex 486/33 Cube EISA machine 
as a 3.11 server.  Adaptec 1740 controller running 2 Seagate 94601-15 drives 
(Devices #0 and #1) and a EXCEL DAT (this is the WANGDAT that is oemed from 
WANGTEK)(Device #3).  

On bootup controller card reports all three devices.  Loading tapedrv.nlm 
works fine. It finds the tape drive reports the name of the tape in the drive. 
After a while, (any where from 1 hour to 3 days) if you try to do a backup or 
any ARCSERVE stuff to the tape drive it comes back with a ffff message from 
the drive.  You can then unload Arcserve.nlm and the tapedrv.nlm fine but if 
you try to reload the tapedrv.nlm it reports that the tape drive is not found.

Any ideas in Net land?

Well, I never did get around to posting the response I put in so here it is.

Archie @ archie.unl.edu reports that RDATENLM.ZIP can be found at risc.au.edu
(130.160.4.7) as /pub/networks/misc/rdatenlm.zip.  This NLM will query an NTP
time server and set the Novell server clock accordingly.   I have this NLM
running on a number of servers with excellant success.  You must follow the
direction carefully or the time settings will be incorrect.  Specifically make
sure you explicitly define your timezone with SET TIMEZONE before loading CLIB
and RDATE.

Hope this is what you were looking for...

This subject came up at Networld in Boston numerous times. The answer is
that one should not use Rprinter on a Windows workstation.. 
Guess there are some things you just can't do....

Keep in mind I'm looking for a TRICK.

For instance, if I create a remote post office that exists within a
directory on the same file server as the main post office, then cc:Mail
will automatically place mail within that post office, with NO intervention
required.  I do this now to allow users to send to an alternate post office
which is polled by one of my Unix boxes for mail destined for that side of
the house.  (I've hacked around cc:Mail's IMPORT/EXPORT utility).  I could
do the same thing for the separate file servers, but I hate polled systems.

SO, if there was a way to share a directory from one file server to another
at the file server level, for instance...

Stretching network construction guidelines is penny-wise and pound-foolish
IMHO.  Individual components are assumed to be manufactured to perform within
a specified range of tolerances.  A certain set of rules (hopefully simple)
is assumed to hold for how the system as a whole is put together.  Given these
assumptions, certain useful statements can then be made about the performance
of the resulting system.  The idea is that the end user is not required to
perform or understand the analysis of the entire system, but only to use
standardized components and follow some basic rules.  Many engineered systems
are designed this way, not just LANs.

Basically, the end user buys a cookbook approach to setting up the LAN in
return for a very small tradeoff in hardware costs.

Sure, in a particular set of circumstances you might be able to "get away"
with something, but if you add another station or replace some equipment and
and it blows up in your face, you really have no one but yourself to blame.

Date: 27 Jan 93 15:09:00 GMT
Organization: PANIX Public Access Unix, NYC


 In response to a couple of requests on the product I mentioned
called Datapump/As (for AS/400 to Netware connectivity), I am
posting (and emailing to those who asked) the following..
 
The company is:
Patrick Townsend & Associates, Inc
7700 Earling Street NE
Olympia, Washington 98506
206.357.8971
206.357.9047 (FAX)
 
They sell a LOT of interesting AS400 products.
 
T/MAIL Electronic mail for the AS/400 with an interface to Novell's
MHS E-mail engine, gateway services to LANS, and fax services.
 
T/MONITOR. Monitor communications, subsystem, jobs, SNADS e.t.c.
 
CONNECT4000 for Sun and Unix connectivity (also interfaces with T/MAIL
and Officevision 400)
 
Datapump/AS. High speed communications between the AS400 and Novell
Networks. Interactive, batch, and application program interfaces are pro
on the AS/400. File and directory based interfaces are available in the
Netware environment. Works with token ring, twinax, async, x.25, ethernet
sna/sdlc connections. NLM version should be available this summer.
The pc software can run on Dos or OS/2 (true OS/2 app not a VDM).
Software performs EBCDIC to ASCII conversions as needed, also supports
individual database record updates on the AS400).
 
I have no relationship with the company. My company is considering
buying the Datapump/As product for a project that I am currently
designing. Oh yes they have source code licenses available (I am not
sure if its extra cost or included in the price though).

  We have installed a BOOTP.NLM freeware by Hellsoft (University of Pragua 
I guess) and it .Works like a charm...Simply need a name RESOLVER.NLM also 
available from the same site.

  All our TCPIP software (NCSA verion 2.3.05 (not before !) Wtacom suite,
Popmail,Trumpet,Gopher and IRC do get their IP address out of our Novell
server. NOT OUT of a central BOOTP server.
  We started by a configuration file (as expalined in the doc's) that
has the ethernet address ,IP's and Intenet names of the workstation
until we found that it does also DYNAMIC IP & name assignment !
  No fuss no hassle. We just forgot about it and it works cleanly...

  I yu want to give it a go ftp to novell.felk.cvut.cs   and grap
BOOTPxx.ZIp and RESOLVxx.ZIP  .

Another approach would be to "disallow" the users to shell out of the 
application(s) by not making COMMAND.COM available to the application, or to 
make a program that simply exits and call it COMMAND.COM in the 
applications directory.  You may have to change COMSPEC to make that work.

As it says in "NetWare 3.11 TCP/IP Transport Supervisor's Guide":

   "NetWare 3.11 IP tunnel will also serve clients using either Novell's
    IP tunnel client driver, a component of the LAN WorkPlace for DOS,
    or the Schneider & Koch DOS end-node product."

The LWP version has an executable called IPTUNNEL which you load on top
of TCPIP.EXE.  The above book has details of NET.CFG: in this context
IPTUNNEL is a "Link Driver".

Seems to me that it would be totally trivial to write an IP tunnel IPX
driver on top of any popular TCP/IP stack or even (since IP tunneling
only uses UDP, which is simple) on top of packet drivers, without having
to pay lots of money for LWP.

My core print services are "disappearing" for no apparent reason.
Whenever I print to a queue, at some point when the server is shoving the
stuff off to the printer, an error box will come up in Pconsole saying
"The specified target print server for this job is unknown". At that
point the job stops printing. Sometimes this error won't show up until
the job has printed. There's always a server attached to the queue,
however. Anyone got any idea on this?

	What you can do here is to put SYS:\LOGIN in your path.  And then 
make the pc Search the path to find your batch file.  I.E. do not run F:
LOGBAT, run C:LOGBAT and the pc will find the LOGBAT.BAT in the SYS:\LOGIN 
search drive, and then not complain about whatever the mapping was for that 
drive, because it WILL ALWAYS be SYS:\LOGIN unless you change servers during 
login.  The reason it complains is because it cannot find the batch file 
after it logs in.  If you remap F:\LOGIN with a MAP ROOT *1:=USERS:SONSO and 
the batch file started from F:\LOGIN, then F:\LOGIN no longer exists after 
login.  As I mentioned in my previous post, I use this ability of Dos to use 
volume names in search drives a LOT with machines that use Boot ROMS.
