LO>Vince,

Write your reply.

assistant: Vince Mchugh recently inquired about Novell 3.12 server possibilities.
   you will have a larger server than I do, even though I use mine for a
little more than you want to.  My Novell 3.12 server is on a 386-40 with
only 8 meg's of ram.  I do have roughly a gig of disk capacity and I
have an HP-4 printer attached to it, for 3 machines to connect to.
Though slow by many standards, it does work and that's what counts.
Besides printing, a copy of each printed document is kept on the server
for save keeping.  Even though it is always backed up, I have personally
learned that multiple's of backups are a wise idea.  I have been running
this for two years with out a hitch.  Yes, I used to run a bbs but, I
would rather pay some one else for access than running a bbs again.  As
I find running a bbs really has no purpose anymore.  What with the
Internet and all, there really is not all that big a call for bbs's any
more.  Anyway, I know you will find Novell 3.12 to your liking once it's
up and running.  The setup is sort of a bear the first couple of times
but, now I routinely reformat my server hard drives and start over again
at least a couple of times a year.  Practise makes perfect or something
like that.  At any rate Novell is still the premier network software,
and everything else just goes along for the ride.

I want to add an HP Laser to a Novell Server 3.12.  I created a queue, a
pserver and added the queue, but I found no place to define the printer (i.e.
nowhere asking for a printer driver).
If I understand correctly, the pserver just routes the print job and it is up
to the Windows 3.1 workstation to define the printer as an HP?
Or do you install the HP driver in Novell?

I and a friend want to make a special login
for Novell NetWare 4.1 which don't require
you to type anything, it should use a floppy
to save the password and change the password
everytime you used the software to logon, and
save the new password to disk and so on.
We want to do this because we don't want
GetIt (often running due to loosers!) to get
our passwords nor people looking for what we
type to get our logins... And with automatic
changing password we can easily use long
passwords making bruteforce's useless!
We need:
Source to login
Source to change passwords
If you do not have specific source, short but
good information is also wanted!

the total time was the same (about 3 min 25 sec)!!! I thought that using
100Mbs network must speed up copy process but not. For copying I used
Norton Comander shell. I also tried to use SysInfo of Norton Utilites

showed 450 Kb/sec but in 100Mbs segment SysInfo refused to work and finished

That why I want to ask "ALL" how can I visual show to users that 100Mbs

I am in a quandry (sp?).  I am looking for a class or series of classes
(degreed or non-degreed does not matter at this point) which offer PC repair,
hardware configuration, operating systems, and peripherals.  I have had a
terrible time trying to find some place which does not want to charge me an
arm and a leg for very few courses and no guarantee that I will learn enough
to pass any industry standard testing.
As an example, one school wanted to charge me over $10,000 for 5 semesters of
classes at 3 classes per semester!  I would have come away knowing just a
little more than I do now with an Associate degree in Applied Computer
Technology.
I guess what I am asking is where can one attend or even take courses by mail
(providing the school is reputable) so that one might receive at least a
certificate of concentration of study and learn what is needed in order to
pass the PC Industry certification tests.  I am writing from the Cincinnati,
Ohio area.
I'll ask the hard question about network certification after I get an answer
to this question.  Oh, BTW, I am a married, full-time employed, father of
two, and over 35.  Hopefully this school is also flexible in their
scheduling.
Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated and warmly received.  My
