I have found out that running MEMMAKER is not the greatest thing for the
Novell shell. Remember, VLM.EXE tries to load itself high by default and
MEMMAKER has a fit with this.. The best bet I have found is to load the LSL,
MLID and IPXODI high with the LH command and then to let VLM load itself. And
you can do this without porting the STARTNET.BAT file over to AUTOEXEC.BAT.

How about setting the parameter for the watchdog packet to a lower value? Say
1 minute or so? And from what I have read, watchdog is doing what it is
supposed to do. Of course, clearing the connection from the console also
works
but that would be a pain :)

assistant: For several months we use Pegasus Mail for DOS on our Novell 3.12 LAN.
Next week we get a brand new server and Novell IntraNetWare 4.11. In the long
term we want to make a connection to the Internet and use PMail as our
standard
E-Mail programme.
Is there anybody who has the experience on this topic? The only thing i know
is
that we need a mail server to exchange E-Mail with our provider. Do we need
additional software?
We want to separate the IPX and IP traffic by FTP FireFox as a firewall. This
software translates IPX to TCP/IP and back, so there will be an adequate
shield
to protect our Intranet against intruders (and people from inside who are
inten-
ded to visit the "FUN" pages on The Net).
Who can give us an advice how to use and configure PMail for this purpose?

One normal (i mean username and the other stuff and one NOT-LOGGED-IN without

is secured by a control of environment variable : if they are not found (or
have wrong value), the LSS suppose that the PC config is not good and do not
let the user enter the server.
Those variable are initiated in the autoexec.bat, before starting Windows95.
With the microsoft client no problem, but with the novell one, it seems that
they are not in the environment at the beginning ! then the LSS logs me out !
funny, ain't it ?

That is, the way you're checking the available drive space. As far as

What version of Netware? IntraNetware 4.11 includes Novell's MPR which can
support asynch PPP over asynch serial ports (dumb or intelligent) in the
server, or you can get other hardware from companies like Digi and Eicon that
support various combinations of synch, asynch and ISDN-based PPP.
For earlier versions of Netware you have to purchase MPR either separately or
bundled with your WAN hardware.
This isn't cheap, but doesn't require running a Unix machine to act as a PPP
server. Standalone routers are another possibility worth considering.

assistant: Well several Fido feeds are on the WWW, and so are some Novell support
systems.  Since I'n not on the WWW and don't use an ISP, I don't know who

Novell sales outlets, or refer to the manual if all else fails.
My Filebone is FTP fed to this net, and the dates are all screwed up as a
result.  That is, if they arrive.  I have about 12 of the Novell support
filebone areas here, as well as the Green River and other Novell 4.11 trade
show CD handouts dated to Nov 1996.  About 10 Novell releated CDs.   If you
know the file name your looking for, I can see if I have it, and file attatch
e-Mail it to you, if routed mail works on that end.
My uplink Encodes attatched files and depending on your end ISP or gateway,
you could have it within the hour or so.
