Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All
I'm after recommendations for fax software to run on my Novell 3.12
server. Price is an issue as it really is only two people who will
be using it, but facilities matter most.
To date I've passed all faxing to a 386SX to fax and receive stuff.
The theory being when the lightning strikes, its the most expendable.
However, as the quantity of faxing is picking up, the delay in this
poor little box is just too much. Like an hour to send two eight page
faxes.
The catch is that my fileserver is only a 386DX33 (32Mb Ram, 1.5Gb hard
disk ans four CD-roms). (hey for two people, it works well) Is the
fax nlm going to kill the 386DX33? or will it handle it okay?.
Thanks for ideas

assistant: Dealer cost on one today is $15k+, so we know your orginization has money.
Okay, so you have a repeatable failure.
1. Don't go around crashing a production server repeatedly. It's too costly
and
too risky.
2. Get Novell and Compaq involved _now_ and open an incident. You obviously
have business partners - USE THEM, particularly Novell. You want an eval copy
of 4.11 -- 2- or 5-user is fine -- for testing purposes. You want their tech
onsite if that doesn't work.
3. Load your production server software onto the Proliant using a spare SCSI
drive. Yes, your orginization has spare equipment or ought to. Now that you
have a reasonably fast turnaround on a repeatable test, you will be quickly
to a solution.

The transmitter part of the NIC is not working, or if you are using UTP, the

try another NIC in the new server, alternatively try another cable. Ofcourse
if UTP, it could also be the receiving circuit in the HUB, which is making

Write your reply.

assistant: Do you have any way of verifying the problem was not caused by the software,
such as running NCC on a different server? You may be having problems with
RAM, and diagnostics don't necessarily catch problems of that nature. Ruling
out all other problems helps determine if RAM is at fault.
Alternatively, you might look into other backup solutions that do not depend
on NCC, such as backup servers (I think Vinca makes one), which makes a
duplicate of the drives, then permits a normal backup without affecting the
use of the live data.
Good luck!
