assistant: Jeff,
I don't want to argue this point.  My original comment was based on a rule of
thumb that many folks use, 16 megs per gig of disk.  I've seen some folks use
10 megs per gig of disk.
The latest tool that uses the latest formula says 32 megs is the absolute
minimum for Netware 3.12 and 4 gigs of disk, assuming 50 clients and 40,000
files.

assistant: Hi Peter
I also tried it, and indeed it's a real improvement. If you have 32-bit
lient
drivers that is. Otherwise it just costs too much conventianal memory.
This is not really a bug. In fact it's reason is that you have too much
conventional memory free :-) Some packers (or perhaps it's only one) expect
that conventional memory starts at >=64K. You can solve the problem by using
the LOADFIX command (ie LOADFIX HELP.EXE). This should help.
WP 5.1+ (and perhaps 5.1) requeres de /dl switch. This disables the Launcher.
The 32 bit client cannot handle Task Switchers (yet).

Chris,
One note just in case.  The second number is the amount of memory above 16
megs.  If you translate the binary shown, you'll find the first is 16 megs,
the second is 32 megs and the 3rd is 48 megs.  These plus 16 meg gives the

ike
above
Alex is quite right. Using the dialin as remote node bytes but for PCAnywhere
it works fine. Actually the best performance is with W95 believe it or not.
Just setting it up was a bitch. You cannot ever put a [assword on the users
dialin account. If you do you have to delete the user in SYSCON and the
recreate then. What you do is call up thier account in nwccon and hit enter
twice when you ste the passwork. Effectivey setting thier password to "". W95
handles login them in and the asking for a "netware" password. If that's
correct your in. Connect PCANYWHERE over a LAN connect to the host system and
i flys. ( for pcanywhere at least.)

Actually, I figured out from using the NETUSER tool in Windows that
from the DOS prompt on my Windows 3.1 client, enter:
CAPTURE L=1 Q=CANON_BJC S=486DX2-80
which will attach to the bindery services of the Windows95 workstation.
I can print fine now to the shared Windows95 client's printer from a VLM
DOS workstation.  The only problem I am now having it printing from
Windows.  For some reason Word for Windows hangs when it is spooling to
the printer.  The Windows95 client sees the print job and begins
spooling, but it hangs at 0K size.  Oh well...  I'll keep playing with
it.
