way. ;-)
Microsoft is going after the huge systems with cross-platform
compatibility (see HAL, and the versions available for MIPS, PPC, Alpha)
but Netware has always been designed to operate on the "x86" series of
processors.

 It does. What he is referring to is the next version of Netware that will
not
be so dependant on IPX/SPX and will be able to run pure TCP/IP.
True!

assistant: Hello All!
I've got two printers connected to our netware 3.12 server and am using
PSERVER on server to print to them over the network. One printer is a laser
(HP IIIP) and the other is an inkjet (Deskjet 660C).
The laser printer seems to be working quite well on the network but printing
things on the inkjet is really slow when using colour (and I mean /really/
slow). I printed one line of colour text from Ami Pro and it tooks about 15
mins to start printing. Is this right?
Does anyone know any settings I can twiddle to improve performance?

It doesn't support native TCP/IP clients, but the TCP/IP stack follows DOD
specifications, and with TCPN03.EXE, it supports multicast's and other
things. But you can(as sugested in Netware Connect), use Netware/IP on your
clients, until the update is released later this year.
I allways install netware on DOS computers, and I only know of on
who has done so, but as far as I know Intranetware, can be installed
on a OS/2.

If you could be so kind as to post a phone number at Novell where one might
be able to get this package, I would surely appreciate it. For purposes of
learning the package, this really sounds like a golden opportunity. Look

Write your reply.

assistant: There are several SysOps here running their BBS on Novell, including my self.
 Many are using different BBS packages.  I'm running Searchlight here. What I
have done is this.  On the Server, I put all the message areas (files) up
there.  The BBS excutables Only, on each work station, DOS 6.22 only. In the
BBS CONFIG program, I indicated that ALL Data files reside on the Server
H:\BBS\DATA.  So when a user logs on, the BBS looks to the Server for all
information, ie: Drive Paths, for message areas, information as to the user,
etc.

I have installed 4.11 and it works great
I was copying  900 meg of files and the server reported that it had
crashed on the user console everything froze   then it told the user
to use the control key and press enter  and the user got disconnected
from the server  then regaining controll
The server was frozen solid    I turned of the power  restarted and the
system rebuild itself   it also created a recovery file  and all seems
to be running well   I guess I should have waited to see if the server
would have rebooted byitself  I had to turn of the power and had 3 trys
to get it to repair.
To me sound like I have a hardware problem   also 4.11 is very easy to
install very user friendley   it is plug and play.

for
I
In NW4.1x time sync is a must. You cannot work without it even if you want
o.
There is a module to config and work on it, just load DSREPAIR from the
console. You can also change the settings from MONITOR - SERVER PARAMETERS -
TIME. The other way to see and set all of this is from the console commands,
with SET TIMESYNC ETC. It's important that you write the parameters after the
changes you made. This will save the new configuration file as TIMESYNC.CFG
in SYS:SYSTEM.
