Novell's Multiprotocol Router (MPR), which comes with Intranetware, or is
separately purchasable for NW 3.12 / 4.0X or comes bundled with some hardware
(like Eicon's Packetblaster MPR or AVM's ISDN cards), can talk to WAN
hardware and manage routing between your local network(s) and remote
network(s).
MPR supports circuit switched interfaces as is, and has a WAN Extensions
package for support of packet switched interfaces (X.25 and Frame Relay) and
an SNA extensions package for support of links to IBM mainframes.
MPR also makes management of loading and binding protocols to LAN cards
easier.
Eicon's Packetblaster card is a nifty 2 port serial card that can support
many kings of synchronous and asynchronous serial interfaces by means of
different cables. Eicon also make cards with onboard ISDN.

user: You are replying to All about "NW on a Jazz drive ?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
Here's a daft question for you from a trainee CNE.
How viable is it to install a server on a JAZ or ZIP drive ?
Is it possible, if so, how ?
Is 100Mb ZIP disk big enough for a 4.x environment ?
Even if it is I suppose it'd be too small the put any apps on too, so a JAZ
drive might be best do you think ? (Assuming it's possible of course.)
The reason for this question is that if it is possible, then my training
center could cut costs when they install their new network.
The idea being that we (the students) each have our own disk to install our
individual servers and apps on.
Or would it be simpler/cheaper to have a humongous bunch of SCSI disks on the
"master" server ?
Thanks in advance.

that it can be run on a tcp/ip network (which is what I plan to run...).

assistant: PMFBI...
You'll need some kind of peer-to-peer networking software for DOS. I can
think of at least four alternatives:
* Microsoft network drivers (the same you used with WfW).
  Advantages: Very easy to set up. Multiprotocol support.
  Disadvantages: It's a memory hog.
* NetWare Lite.
  Advantages: Built around IPX (great for games), available at
              no cost with OpenDOS (for personal use).
  Disadvantages: ??? (I haven't used it myself). I don't know if
                 Caldera or anybody else will develop it further.
* Lantastic.
  Advantages: Easy to set up. Reliable.
  Disadvantages: Discontinued. Based around NetBIOS (no IPX).
* Little Big LAN.
  Advantages: Cheap, flexible, modest memory requirements. Can
              co-exist with IPX.
  Disadvantages: Can be rather difficult to install/set up.
Just my two cents...

Sheesh!  That's kinda tough to walk through *not really) over a message base
...
what you need to do is this:
If you have the printer setup on the file server -- the utilities you will
need are PCONSOLE and CAPTURE.  If you are putting it on a workstation, look
into PCONSOLE, CAPTURE, and NPRINTER (It might be called RPRINTER in 3.12).
Without going into huge detail, in pconsole make a printer and a queue, and
attach the printer to the print server, the queue to the printer, and capture
the port and go.  If the printer is on a workstation you'll need to load
RPRINTER on the workstation to share it.
Anyways, look around in those files and I'm sure you can figure it out!

Hope someone can help with the following problem.
Recently I have setup some new Pentiums running Windows 95 as
workstations on a Novell 3.11 LAN.  The machines replaced DOS based
386/286 machines.
The problem is, that the Windows 95 machines do not receive broadcast
& send messages.  The DOS based machines still display them, but if a
printer is off-line or someone uses the SEND command, nothing happens.
Is it possible to turn this feature on, or do I have to install a patch
on the server?

assistant: No, a license is just a file on a disk that say how many connection can
be on the network at the same time.
a 5 user license is the smallest thats sold to the public,
if you want 10 users on 1 machine, buy 1 10 user license,
if you want 5 users on 2 servers each, buy two 5 user licenses.
License's come in these sizes only,
5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000.
Each license is 1 file on a disk.
I own 1 5 and a 50, But they are only two licenses, a 50 and a 5.
I can't break them up into smaller licenses.
See?
This are NOT like Microsoft licenses. ( add a user as you need them )

At this stage most of the above is greek to me...  But I can say there
aren't any IBM mainframes (or mini's) in the equation.
Well, I guess I'm clear about two parts of this - MPR software and some
special serial port cards.  But at this stage, I need things to be kept
simple (in this area).  I have a highly technical background, just
nothing in the area of WAN's.
