Load IPX.COM before 8003PKDR.EXE.  You may also need to ECONFIG your
IPX.COM for Ethernet_II (8137) packets.

Do NOT attempt to run Charon via ODI with SMC NICs.  After much trial
and terror troubleshooting, I'm convinced it cannot work.  However,
Charon hums happily along using 8003PKDR, as long as it it loaded
AFTER IPX.COM.

Subject:      Windows 3.1 and EMM386

Not a Novell problem really, but someone may be able to help.

I have a requirement to run several VPCI compatable packages on 386 PCs in
our labs.  However the main requirement is to run Windows 3.1.  I have
tryed fiddling around with EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS under MSDOS 5 and come
up with the following discovery:  If I allocate some RAM to emm386.exe (ie.
device=EMM386.EXE 1024 auto) then my VPCI packages will run O.K. and so
will any packages using expanded memory - so far so good.  Windows 3.1 also
seems to use the memory, even in enhanced mode (providing EMM386 was active
- EMM386 on).  However, is Windows using it as expanded memory, or does it
use it in a better way (VPCI?) - all I have discovered is that it won't
allocate this memory as extended memory to non Windows applications - but
this is not currently a problem.

Thanks in advance

Subject:      Optima DAT Drive-recommendations?
X-To:         novell@suvm.BITNET, mac-l@yalevm.BITNET, macnet-l@yalevm.BITNET

Hi There

I'm looking for some cheap (but good) advice. I have an opportunity to
purchase an Optima Technology MiniPak DAT drive.  Both Mac and PC connectivity
is available (which is important to me), it comes bundled with Retrospect
(Mac back-up) and Sytos Plus (PC back-up).  They have two models,
a 2000DAT and a 8000DAT, they are essentially the same drives, but the
8000 has built-in proprietary compression that takes a 60 meter tape
from 1.3 Gb (on the 2000) to 4.8 Gb on the 8000. You can turn the
built-in compression off if you want to use retropect or sytos.

I can purchase the 8000 (the one I would prefer) for around 2500($US), and this
should give me everything I need to support both my mac side and my PC/Novell
side.

Unfortunately I know nothing of this company/product and not much more about
DAT's in general. I could take the time to do the proper research, but I'm
being pushed to make a decision in less than 4 days to satisfy the needs
of a current (high-profile) project. So, I would be extremely greatful for
any advise/info people can provide.

Thanks in advance,

Donal

Subject:      Updating Network Drivers
X-To:         novell@suvm.acs.syr.edu

Hello All!

We have gradually been adding campus buildings one at a time to the
campus over the past five years. As a result, we have numerous
versions of network drivers installed on our users workstations.
Currently, we have approximately 400 users connected to the building
LAN's with another building coming online beginning in October.

When we connected the last building, we upgraded all of our servers
to NetWare 3.11 on no less than a 386 machine. Before we get involved
in the installation of another building LAN and connecting it to the
campus WAN, we want to update all network drivers currently installed
on user workstations to the current version. We would also like to
have in place a procedure to continue to update these drivers as
needed.

We were thinking that it would be great to run a program over the
network which would check a users HD for the most current version of
drivers. If it was not the most current version it would copy the
most current version from the network to the user's HD. It sounds
simple enough, but when you start considering the various machine
types with various ethernet cards and of course all those "special"
cases, the difficulties with writing and implementing such a program
increase drastically.

Now, here's my question(s)....

Are you concerned with having all of your users running the
current versions of drivers? If not, why? If so, how do you deal
with keeping the network drivers on your user workstations at the
most current version? Do you already have such a program to
automatically update these drivers? If so, can we have a copy of it?

Note: We are doing our best to not have to visit each workstation to
      update the drivers. We feel there should be some way to handle
      this over the network transparent to the user.

Thanks in advance for any and all information.

thanks maurice.  I would like to hear from anyone still running a mac server
about why they are doing so.  I am pretty well convinced that there is no
good reason to do it especially if you have 60+ macs and need to share files
with dos users.

Basically I have found that the ODI works on the faster PC's. There
seems to be problems with the XT family. The packet driver contained
in packet16.exe (a self unpack exe) contains a note that running
BYU's IPX is not guaranteed and that PDIPX is recommended. Have tried
both and they seem to work well. I dont know where packet16.exe
resides, however I can forward it if required.

This can be done by adding a SMTP gateway to your LAN.

The best SMTP I came across so far in the PC world is Microsoft
Mail 3.0. It seems to be the most mature (it was Network Courier before).

Personally, I did not like the SMTP gateways of cc:Mail and Da Vinci.

I recommend to have an evaluation test before going into production!

The PC SMTP gateway has to connect to another, smarter & more powerful
SMTP gateway (typically a UNIX box) inside your LAN.

You will also be offered X400 for all these mail systems if need be.

I've found that on a v3.11 server, you cannot *NOT* be logged in when
you start Charon v2.0.  I have all charon files on a local harddrive
and have copied LOGIN/ATTACH to that drive.  I then just fire it up.

Thanks Brian.  Just for clarification, when you say certification testing, I
presume you mean that DEC built the driver and is running it through Novell's
certification testing and that I might be able to bug DEC to find out about
getting a hold of it.

I do not have the model of server you refer to but I do have some
other IBM's and I have had no trouble at all.  I can tell you that
most vendors' latest and greatest machines are not netware certified
while most of their older ones are.  Usually they are in the process
of getting netware certification.  Anyway, I don't think I would
worry.  IBM sells Netware 3.11 in the blue box, Netware (even the
read box) comes with all the necessary drivers (unless you use a
less popular NIC) to get the machine up and running.

Yes you can, by using the DOS < command.  Here is an example:

   Login server/username <password.fil

The password.fil is just a file that only contains the password.
This way the password will be piped into the login command.  We use
this for print stations and similar machines.
