        Why, here it is!

Lanworks Techologies Inc.       Tel:001 416 238 5528

        I'm afraid I couldn't find a FAX number.  Lanworks is a great place, and

they give good educational discounts-you can buy direct, and save alot of money.

Yep, noticed it for over a year now.  Never felt like having Novell ask
me for $$$'s when I wanted to report their bug, so I've never done anything
about it.  To tell you the truth, I'm not sure why it happens, but it
surely does.  I've not found a workaround other than the one you state.

Check if you chose "Remote LPT1:" if you are using a remote print server

Hello,
	Recently I've been setting up application menus for the

All you need to do is put the name space in the dos partition on the
drive/disk you boot from and then you can find it by specifing the drive
letter.

Subject: Need help designing Novell system
Date: 6 Apr 92 22:00:00 GMT
Organization: University at Buffalo
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

I need help designing a LAN. I have worked with them before
but have never actually put one together.

What I am doing:
Setting up a ten station LAN to run under Novell. It will run off
a 486-50Mhz machine. I want to use PC's as workstations. It will
also have a laser printer connected to the system, one modem for 
use with PC-Anywhere, and several dot-matrix printers and receipt 
printers tied to specific terminals.

Questions:
1> Does this make sense? I think it does.
2> Can a printer be connected to a specific terminal, or must it be
tied to the network to be used by the terminal while the terminal 
is logged into the system?
3> Where do you put the modem? On the file server, any terminal, or
a specific dedicated terminal for the modem only?
4> The biggie: The least expensive PC's I can find to use as terminals
are 286's with 40M hard drives for about $600. Is there a cheaper way
to do the terminals while still using PC's? If not, if I write something
for use under DOS that has a real nice screen interface, will it run on
something like a Wyse terminal?

Please e-mail any suggestions, comments, etc. One acceptable suggestion
would be the title of a book that help me do this. I can't find a good one.

Thanx in advance

take the time to answer the following questions.


1.  What type of operating system for your file server do you have
in place?



2.  Please rate the following according to the operating system:
    1 as being excellent, 5 as being very poor.

	a)  reliability			1     2     3     4     5

3.  What type of Cabling is used in your Local Area Network and why was this
    type chosen?  Twisted-pair, coaxil, or fiber optic cabling.





4.  What type of Method Access Protocol do you use and why?
    Ethernet or Token

We are using DOS 5.0 on our diskless workstations to successfully log into
our netware 3.11 server, however in order to get them to work it was/is
necessary to run a rplfix2 to modify the remote boot images created with
DOSGEN.

DOSGEN A: <filename>.sys
RPLFIX2 <filename>.sys

The utility was downloaded from our netware supplier.  We are using Accton
16 bit cards.

We use NCSA TElnet for Telnet and FTP to our MicroVax. The software is FREE
and works quite well. You can get it from any number of internet sites.
WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU will have it.  If you use Cabletron Ethernet cards the
necessary driver (CSIPD_E.EXE) is included.  Otherwise try the Clarkson
packet drivers for  support of almost all known ethernet cards.

You can get NCSA to co-exit with Novell using the BYU IPX packet drivers,
usually bundled in a file called NOVELL.ZIP or NOVELL.EXE.  (Co-exist NOT
co-exit, I made a typo).  Anyway, I'm running DECnet, IPX, and TCP/IP on
top of Windows as I write this. It all works pretty well. If you want more
info mail me direct at KEVIN@OCS.DIR.TEXAS.GOV

Good luck!

  In a normal configuration even users with almost no privileges have access

  give them access to info that is not needed.

  Is there a simple way to prevent this? Can you move these programs out of

To not waste money, we are looking for switchable cards that will

Can anyone recommend any switchable cards, and perhaps ballpark

What would be the best configuration for a 1-gig server that has to run
Dos, OS/2 and Mac support, but only has 16M?  This is what I'm thinking of
doing...would it be better if I used a blocksize of 8K?  Pros/Cons
welcomed.

Server configuration
16M memory
2 636M scsi (1G total) on a Procomp, 4K block size, not mirrored/duplexed
external Tecmar on a separate scsi adapter
50 users (extreme) total
Token-ring 4MB
WD8013 Ethernet (note, no IP forwarding between cards)
RARP, PSERVER, PROSERVE, TCPIP and other misc modules


Novell formulas for calculating memory requirments:
---------------------------------------------------
DOS Volume(s)        M = (0.023 x (Size in mb)) / block_size
NameSpaced Volumes   M = (0.032 x (Size in mb)) / block_size

(Name space meaning DOS, OS2 and/or Mac)

Volumes                                    Memory needed (in meg)
-------                                    ----------------------
         SYS = (0.023 x 300) / 4        =  1.7250  (DOS partition,
         SYS = (0.032 x 300) / 4        =  2.4000  (OS2 partition and
         SYS = (0.032 x 300) / 4        =  2.4000  (Mac partition combined)

        APPS = (0.023 x 300) / 4        =  1.7250  (Dos partition only)

       NW386 = (0.023 x  70) / 4        =  0.4025  (Dos partition only)
                                          -------
                                          11.8795
                                       +   2.0000 (Operating system req.)

                            Total Memory  13.8795 ~ 14 Megs memory


The total disk space used would be approximately 770 megs (out of 1.26G).
The other 500 meg would be held in reserve for whatever.

Important (perhaps ignorant) question:  Do I have to include the DOS calcs
if the OS/2 and MAC volumes are only going to support either OS/2 or MAC?

Please reply direct and I'll summarize for the list....if there is enough
interest.

Subject:      problem with Netware TCP/IP

I am trying to setup IP routing on a Novell 3.11 server.
The documentation states that sys:/etc/gateways will be used to setup
initial routing table. We discovered that only the last entry is
entered into the routing table; other entries seem to be ignored.

Strange, isn't it ?

As we tried to setup our routing table manually we also discovered
strange things.
Adding a routing entry (using INS-key) will always result in the
disappearance of the default route and direct route(s).
Re-entering the default route will restore it.

Has anyone also expirienced these problems ?

         Your problems sounds exactly like a problem we had.  We had
         an RT/AIX system that would only communicate remotely.  It
         would not communicate with the local LAN.  We had the mask
         set wrong on the RT/AIX system.  It was set to 255.255.0.0
         (which had been ok BEFORE the Novell router).  Our campus
         mask is 255.255.255.0.  Check this out.

*** JSB:
         I'm not sure if you can route through a 2.2 server.  Why not
         try one of the PD routers, like PC-Route?

Dear Novell,

packets through NetWare server 2.20. My situation may be described by next

                | spx/ipx & IP     |--------|
                |      net         |        |
                 ------------------         | WD 8003
                                  ----------|-----
                                 | NetWare 2.20   | SPX/IPX routing works well
                                 |                | IP packets does not routed
                                  -----------|----
                                             |WD 8003EB
                                        -----|-------------------
                                       |  spx/ipx & IP net       |
                                       |                         |
