 to give you supervisor access (Versions for Netware 3.12 & 4.x)
Try altavista and search for BURGLAR+NOVELL+HACK or something..
If you don't have Internet I guess I could post it here

Or I could netmail it.. But people doesn't seem to be very fond

I don't know... Maybe it says something about it when you execute

Wow... I thought my CD was an usual ISO, but I can check what

such things a while ago...
(Sierra is just another disk/file system, like other formats
like FAT12, FAT16, HPFS, ISO-CDs and such)
Well... The CD works great in my computers, but NOT very good
in my friend's. I think it is some small physical differnce on
the CD that makes his CD-ROM not like it. Might got something
to with the fact that he has a "caddy"-CD-ROM and that I have
one of those common CD-ROMs with a tray.

Write your reply.

assistant: All cables have a velosity factor, per frequency of operations (band width).
If the cable is cut corectly, it has less resistance, or line loss.  With
less
line loss, you can install more length of cable in a LAN.  Most LANs are
rated
at x feet for thin Ethernet, and x feet for thick Ethernet.
The same thing applys to other topologies.
This in a very small LAN is not iportant.  In larger LANs, or wide
dispersment
of a LAN it is quite important.  If its a LAN/WAN, its supper important.  If
its invocles tunneling WANs, it can be critical.

Never set up a printer on a server.  It used to deteriate the server
performance up to 25% some years ago.  Not sure the stats of deteriation of
current hardware, or versions of the software.
Lanspool software was one of the ways to set up various printers, various
forms, and resolution needs.  It allows any designated workstation to host
the
printer, and allows the person sending the print job to select a printer, and
format.  It also has many more features, but basically, takes the work load
of
the server and allows you to use old 8088 if you want to set up dedicated
print servers on older versions of Novell..

Write your reply.

assistant: If you are using Netware mail, you can use MHS or Pegasus mail. Pegasus has a
win version and it's freeware.
The Netware clients for windows have the popup window announcement.
Usually the mail is written at the user's mail directory in the server, it is
not sent to his personal HD, so he can access his mail from any PC in the
network.
Each time a message is posted, the recipient receives a sign of arriving
message.
In novell mail system, Urgent messages just appear in red, I think there is
nothing else different.
