Write your reply.

assistant: My guess would be that it depends on whether there is a netware specific
driver for that drive.  I suspect there is not, but I've been known to be
wrong in the past.
As for viability, for the purpose you described it would be advantagous I
think, but can't think of any other circumstance where it would be.  To move
the JAZ drive (with netware installed) from one computer to another would
nly
work if both computers virtually identical configurations.

Write your reply.

assistant: Login as Supervisor, Run SETUP /A to "administrativly" install windows.  Give
the necessary rights to the newly created directory.  Now go to each
workstation, (including this one), login as the user, run SETUP /N from the
installed windows on your server.  When asked for a directory for installing
to, specify one on your local drive or the users home directory.  It's also
best to specify a local drive for your virtual memory.
I've successfully done this on a 10 user novell v2.2 network with 386
workstations.  (some even without hard drives)  I've also done it on a
netware v3.11 system.
BTW, it's not how I recommend installing windows on a network, but it does
work.  (I tell my customers to purchase large enough hard drives to install
windows on each and every workstation.  It just works better and faster that
way)

  How much did the course documentation cost for the Netware 4.1 CNA...I am
looking at a local company that does the course for $1995 (classes) or $995
for just the course books, ETC (home study).  I was planning on doing the
course at home...so I prefer that over anything, and I was told the CNA
testing was about $150 and the same person got the course book for $50.
hich
sounds right to you?  Let me know where I can get the course work and the
approximate cost...I did notice at B.  Daltons (bookstore) they had a book
about Novell Netware 4.1 with a 2 user license version for $60...is that all
I would need for the Netware 4.1 CNA testing?  Anyways, thanks for your time.

user: You are replying to All about "Win 3.11 or 95?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Our office was recently hooked up to the department network with Novell
3.11 (I think that's the version) using our existing Windows 3.11 and Pentium
90's with 16 megs of ram. I find that the network often causes memory
problems in cutting and pasting between MS Word and Excel or running an
Access database program and importing into an Excel file.
     Running memmaker to optimize the use of memory and then typing "mem"
results in "largest executable program size" of 395K with the network up and
579K with the network's start command remmed out of the autoexec.bat.
     I run OS/2 at home using Lanserver 4.0 for the BBS and never had memory
problems, even when I ran my BBS on a 486 with 16 megs. So, the question is,
suppose we "upgrade" to Windows 95? Will this solve the memory problems
mentioned above? How about total memory needs for Windows 95? Is 16 megs
enough? In other words, maybe we will solve our individual windows session
problems at the expense of slowing down the entire system.
     What about NT? Is this a better choice? Note: We've got to stick with
the existing Novell system.
     Anyone at Novell I could call?

If you are trying to use RPRINTER on a Win95 machine, I don't think you can.
You'll have to restrict remote printing to Ws's running DOS or W3.11.
Alternatively you could install MS Print Services for NetWare.
Look in ADMIN\NETTOOLS\PRTAGENT in the Win95 CD-ROM for MSPSRV.EXE.
Install it via Networks Control panels "Add - Service".
Configure it by Right clicking on the printer, and enable MS Print Server
for Netware.

IMHO, the ZIP is too small for anything but classroom use.  (Since that's the

cheaper.  It has the solid disadvantage of being a good deal slower.
True enough.  (Unless you got cagey and did a boot from floppy, with
