assistant: Yes I did use 4.1 and now use intranet
When you read the CNE manual it says that the system is still the same
but with 4.1 having more utils to use.
I keep on getting told you need more ram     even with 4.1   but I find it
all works fine on 16 megs   but I do use expensive hardware with the system
You get what you pay for, in the long run.

to
put a cd drive on the server.  I need to get more than that before I switch.
By

yes

assistant: Hi there
Yet another question :-)
IF you are (i am :-) running NW-4.11 on top of OS/2 Warp, and would like to
have a central backup solution w. TSA's one might have a problem.
Does anyone know if there is a produvt out there that can do:
- Actual QIC/DAT on Novell -> OS/2 Warp's SCSI-CTRL
  (AHA 2842 or 2940)
- NLM that talks to (what ? SCSISHR, ASPISHR ?)
- TSA's for OS/2 Warp-3, DOS-6.22, Win 3.x, 95 & NT 4.0
- Control program for the NLM for Win*.*
Or is there a program that supports the TSA's & Novell and
can handle that the QIC/DAT is on a Win*.* Workstation ?
Any advice, hints etc. will be greatly apreciated :-))
regards
Kristian

assistant: than
I got it Charles. It really was quite easy if you didn't pay any attention to
what the Novell books and the trained chimpanzee novell install said/did. I
had tried using the Novell Client install from thier Client TCPIP CD. It
wouldn't install to a floppy so I installed it on a hard drive, replaced
VLM.EXE with NET.EXE and I have IPX and TCPIP booting off a floppy. Works
fine. All I really had to do was add the TCPIP.EXE and set up TCPIP in the
NET.CFG file. I was able to get both IPX and TCP + Tiny Term for DOS on a
1.44 meg floppy. Had to leave all the fluf that Novell and Tiny term like to
stuff on the disk to do that but it works now. Now we can use any AT,386, or
486 with or without a hard drive as a dumb terminal. All we have to do is
just stuff an NE2000 card in them.
Maybe I'll try the 32 bit client some day, but for now all the floppy booted
workstations are rocking and rolling. Never touch what wurks. All they doing
is using Tiny Term DOS to hook into an IBM AIX system, so it really doesn't
matter too much about the memory foot print.

2.20?

which courses you took for 3.x.  For a time, if you had taken the 3.x to

Can't recall if you'll have to have 4. install and config, but no matter
what, you'll need 4. Design & Implementation.
