If they have the BNC connector, you just need a 'T' connector for each,
RG58A/U coax cable, and 2 terminators ($2.00 at comp shows) to hook
everything together..
The terminators go at the 2 ends and you have a tee on each card to link them
together.  You need this even for a 2 comp network.  Its like this:
<terminator>-T----(cable)----T----(cable)----T-<terminator>
             |               |               |
            NIC             NIC             NIC
The phone jackz are RJ45 btw..  :}
I've seen 4 port hubs under $40.00 at the shows, but the coax way is still
cheaper.  2 cables, 3 tee's, and the 2 terminators should be under $15.00.
(again at the shows).
The Terminators are 52 ohm each.
Novell has a 2 user version for demo / students thats $15.00 if I caught the
messages right, or Windy 95 has peer to peer in it also.  Not knowing who
makes your NIC's I couldnt guess which drivers to tell you to get.
Is there a name on the cards??  A long shot, I would say try NE2000 drivers
if its a 16 bit card, NE1000 if there 8 bit cards.
*** Quoting Edgar Mckinney to Charles Miller dated 09-21-97 ***
We throw these away at work..  Switching a few comps a day from TR to E-Net.
The hub you need for these is big bucks..
Hope this helpz.. :}

Nope.. you can lower Admin rights, of course you can. It's an account as all
the others.
You can also create an admin in root to take care of all the upper levels of
the NDS and several admin objects for the containers in the lower levels. If
you use the masks you can stop the root admin's rights where you want.
This would be for a non-centralized administration.
Just don't try unless you have another with supervisor rights in the root
object.

Well I've never tried LOWERING the Admins access, however, it seems someone
definitely DID delete the Admin account.  See, the way the server was setup,
someone set it up so everyone logs in with NETX still (bindery mode), and it
was all managed through syscon and half through netadmin.  Bottom line is no
one knew what the heck they were doing when setting this thing up.

1) back up the individual volumes
2) Make a new Server Install w. apropriate drivers
3) COPY the _NEW_ Autoexec.Ncf
4) Restore the old Volume Sys incl. bindery and other volumes
5) edit the restored autoexec.ncf to get the right new LAN hardware back
6) boot the server, and "see" if "anything" is missing (that
   might be on the DOS partition of the old server)
Will this do (for any ordinary 3.12) ?
Is there an easier way ?
If so, do i need any tools that aint on the std. distribution, and if so,
where do i get them ?

"A program in this session encountered a problem and cannot continue."
If I simply execute it a second time (or subsequent times) it runs
perfectly fine.
This is no big deal as it won't be running that often anyway (it's

it's run?

Write your reply.

assistant: Yeah, it should all work... this might be a good idea for you:
You are currently using IDE, and going to SCSI.  I am going to assume that
he
SYS: volume is on the IDE drive, right?   Ok, simple take the IDE to the new
machine and boot up with that.  Make the IDE your SYS volume still, the new
computer SHOULD boot up just fine with it (your nic won't load).  At that
point just make Netware Partitions on the new SCSI drives, and leave SYS on
the IDE drive.
Got it?  that would probably be the *easiest* way to go.  In short, put the
IDE drive in the new system... boot up, change the nic driver and add your
SCSI drivers.
