Write your reply.

assistant: Is anyone running Client32? What results are you getting?
I've loaded Client32, and found the client only takes 2-3k of memory versus
50+k for VLM's. This is out-standing. Only down fall detected is workstations
losing connection to Intel's NetPort Print Servers for dos applications. Does
anyone know of a work around, besides replacing the Intel NetPorts?
BTW - This is a 3.12 environment, Ethernet frame 802.3, CAT5 cabling, users

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks. Yes, I ultimately did use the "above16" switch. It seems to run
fine now.
A curious thing that I noted on another Server I was working on was that
each time you ran Arcserve, memory would get chomped out of the
permanent memory pool. On each backup, more and more memory was stuck in
that pool. It's like Arcserve would grab that memory, forget it
had reserved it, and ask for it again on the next backup. I don't see
anything on Cheyenne's webpage that discusses that, at least for
version 4.02.  Oh well, another thing for me to research. Thanks for the
tips...

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
I got a NW 4.1 server and I've installed a Adaptec 1540/1542CF SCSI-card. On
that card I installed one ordinary 2xspeed SCSI-CDROM and one MBR 7
CDROM-Changer (2xspeed). Everything works just great except that the Changer
has very very slow transfer speed compared to the ordinary 2xspeed CDROM
player. In DOS mode both the players has almost exactly the same transfer
speed, but when both of them are attached to the server, the Changer got a
transfer speed around 50-70 kb/s instead of 300 kb/s...why???
I've tried three different SCSI-cards, all with the same results. The
'ordinary' CDROM player runs perfect in NW.
I don't understand..both of them are SCSI devices and both of them are
attached to same card, but one looses speed..??
Please HELP!!!!

Matt,
It may be the old saying 'if it aint broke, dont try to fix it'  :}
Why change a system thats running reliably, even if its for something
etter..
When a version of Novell comes out that wont run Netx, they may have no
option but to change..
The first time I tried VLM's, the server abend'd as soon as they loaded..  :{
Didnt need this in the middle of a work day..  I have never figure'd why it
happen'd, but it never happen'd again..
I didnt do any tests, but I think VLM's were a bit slower then Netx..

    study, and using my knowledge.
        I had planned on buying some of the self study materials from
    Amer-Data in the form of student kits which are the same materials used
    in the Instructor Lead Courses.
        I learned today that this company has been bought by GE.  I was also
    told "GE" dosen't provide direct training.  They will contract out the
    training.
    Now for my questions.

I have a Nackamichi 7-CDROM changer and CDVIEW. You need to connect the
changer and load CDVIEW on a CD-Server (a separate station). CDVIEW acts
like a CD-Server, so it needs to run on a separate station not on the
file server.
Let's get this point clear, how are you going to setup your CD-Server
station and how many users do you plan to have at the same time on the
server ?

I had that same discussion in this echo not too long ago
expressing the same sentiments. In fact, I took my fifth exam
last week (Printing with Netware) and was shocked! I studied
very little on the Apple and Unix connectivity sections only
to get hit with nearly 20 percent(!) of the questions
relating to those areas. Fortunately, I was able to "reason"
many of them out and wound up passing the exam. But, I fully
expected more questions relating to PCONSOLE and setting up
queues and print servers since this seems to be the main
thrust of that course. It was the only test thus far in
which I NEEDED the full allotted exam time (and the time for
this exam was 90 minutes!)

Can anybody provide information how the Novell gateway protocol to MHS
works? As far as I know, files get written into an outbound directory
and incoming files are read from an incoming directory. I'm interested
in two things:
* What is the mechanism to prevent Mails from being read while the
  external gateway program is still writing them (and vice-versa)?
* What is the format of the Mails (I think the format is called
  "Standard Mail Format (SMF) existing in versions 70 and 71), can
  anybody provide information on this format?
