assistant: Don't use stmg on the workstation.
netfos /p1 (to fossil COM1)
I usually use /p4 and set the dos/windows program to COM4.
This way I can feel assured that there are no conflicts
with an "on-board" COM1 or COM2 on the workstation.
Be sure and upgrade to the latest AIO and AIOCOMX from ftp.novell.com
I use STOMPER with an EQUINOX 8 port serial card with 8 modems in a
roll over modem pool with DOS/Win 3.x and Win'95 and no problems.

assistant: Hi Mike,
[Much good info saved and snipped]
Hadn't considered that. I've always wondered why Unix uses AUI for
multi-user LANs, when coax would provide speed and range benefits.
I get to work on a W95/3.11/3.10 network from time to time. You're quite
right. I earn a lot more pennies than if they'd stayed with 3.11!
I'm now considering checking out Microsoft for their CNE training. That
just leaves the decision of NT4 or NT5.
Many thanks for such a comprehensive reply.

From: Knut Hinrichs <knut.hinrichs@on-line.de>
Hi everybody.
I have a prob installing Netware/IP at a workstation, i.e. I can't get
any connection to the server
where the NetWare/IP server componets are installed.
I was so far that I can ping the server by its IP-address and by its dns
name 'hh_1'.
But from within win95 I can't get no connection...
Following is a protocoll made by client32 using the /verbose-option.
I suppose, it's because of that Netware/IP can't get its IP-address. Or
because IPX could'nt bind to
a frame type (I installed ETHERNET_II as the frame type for
TCP/IP-protocoll on the server
which is correct, isn't it?)
Any Idea?!?
Thanks in advance, Knut

Agreed. But as far as I can see, the NW 4 version of time sync is time sync
between servers, not as the NW 3 patch did, and allow the server software to
stay on hardware CMOS time, which in this case is far more accurate. Given
the same hardware, the software would run ahead of the hardware CMOS clock if
hardware sync is not provided. What I need is that the reference server
(single reference) to track the hardware CMOS clock. I do not know whether it
does or not. All the other servers will sync to that server via the NW 4 time
sync feature as is forced upon the administrator.

I seem to have some problems with the Modem-sharing program 'Stomper',
I had Stomper 3.21 installed on my Netware server with the files stomper.nlm
and stmgr.nlm.
Everything worked fine when I used my Suprafaxmodem 14400i in DOS but there
was no option for Windows95 so I installed Stomper 3.30.
There arose a few problems:
- When using Laplink95 and Stomper in win95, I could call a BBS but the
program would never access it.
- So I tried it in DOS again, using the same parameters as I did with the
previous version but I only could reach baudrates of 2400!
I reinstalled Stomper 3.21 but the problems in DOS have staid...
Could any give some advise about this?
Oh, yeah; I use NETFOS with the parameters : /p3 /i
Any advise is welcome!
See ya,

  added over 650 users.  Over 500 online at a time.  Monitor shows
  hardly a dent in CPU utilization and Memory utilization shows that it
  would be fine on half that 256 Meg of ram.
  Now NT4 on the other hand.  Every system I install has a 128 Meg
  minimum.  No processor less than 166.  It has been our findings that
  this is a minimum config. for any decent performance.  But we still
  wouldn't think of 500 users on one machine.  I've seen 50 users stomp
  all over a 128 meg pentium 200 NT4 server.  I though it was pretty
  sad.  As for it being more stable than Win95.  Yes, by a far shot.
  We had a major spell where NT was selling like hot cakes.  Only lasted
  about 6 months.  Now it is primarily Netware going out the door again.
  NT is just not efficient  Too much hardware for the return.  Netware
  is very efficient.  I just upgraded a 3.12 server on a pentium 75 with
  48 megs of ram to 4.11.  I not only ran faster once up but it also
  mounted 6 Gigs. of drive space in half the time.  I must say it did

Delete
SYS:ETC\MWISE.MLS
SYS:ETC\NMA2.MLS    (In fact these two files are the only ones you need to
remove before reinstalling MW).
There a also a few files in SYS:SYSTEM, SYS:PUBLIC.
Please don't delete all of them. ;-)
And now:
Delete the MANAGEWISEGROUP
Delete the login script extensions made by MW.
Some people will try to remove the schema extensions inside the NDS but
this isn't necessary...
On the ManageWise Console you have to delete C:\MW (or another directory
you have choosen during custom install. In the LOAD= -line inside WIN.INI
remove the item ...\NMSCRON. You can delete the line DEVICE=VUSER.386
inside System.ini-section [386ENH].
The rest is fine tuning: NMS.INI and such things.
