3.12 - REPLY:
Novell clearly explains in the installation instruction for both the
Windows 95 and the Windows NT 3.51 32 bit client kits that you must
remove the Microsoft client and reboot the machine before you install
the Novell client. The system simply won't work properly if you attempt
to run both companies' NetWare clients at the same time.

     Hi Eric,
     Do the QIC-80/Travan format tapes of 3M and Maxell have a
     lifetime guarantee on their tapes? I used to use 3M long
     ago but don't remember seeing any warranty on them. Now
     I use Sony but it too doesn't have any warranty.
     You are right that the replacement tape is of not much help.
     I was saying about the warranty because I wondered how much
     the manufacturers trust their tapes.
     How does one account for files that fail a compare immediately
     after a backup? The drive is brand new, the tape is new.
     Conditioned more than 24 hours to the operating environment.
     I have grown suspect of the QIC-xx/Travan formats and thinking
     of shifting to DAT/DLT as Frank recommends.
     What do you think? You input is greatly appreciated...
     Regards...

Hi All!
I need info about difference between frames 802.3 & 802.3u. Especially, what
I have to write in autoexec.ncf if I have fast ethernet card in novell 4.1
server? As I know fast ethernet required 802.3u frame but novell has only
802.3. If I`ll write frame=ethernet_802.3 will my card work properly? If not,
which software I must get for novell 4.1 that will support 802.3u frame?

assistant: I am hoping to take the test one day next week!  I will be studying hard
and practicing using NetWare Administrator this week.  If you are only
using the Big Red Self Test, check our WWW.CERTIFY.COM.  There is a
NetWare 3 to 4 Update quiz program on there which is pretty nice.
The shareware demo only has a few questions per category, but you can
call the 1-800 number listed and register the entire quiz (over 250
questions) for only $19.95.  They will ask you for a key number that is
in your program and give you another key which unlocks the questions.
It is pretty cool and only took about 10 minutes to register.
So between the BRST, CNEQuizer, and the CNETEST program that came with
my CNE 3 to 4 Update book, I should be ready to take the real test!!!
====
Question to all others that have taken the NetWare 3 to 4 Update test
(this is your last month!)  If anyone has taken it already, can you
please give me some details on what to expect on the test?  Are there a
lot of NWADMIN related walk-thrus?

Write your reply.

assistant: much?
That could really depend on the controller you are using with them. If they
are floppy controller driven, you'll be lucky to do 5-6meg/minute. If they
are floppy contrller but use a high speed card, you will get 8-12meg minute.
DAT are SCSI. I backup 33-40meg/minute with my Conner 4gig DAT using Windows
NT backup. As Frank Says, when correctly setup, DAT is stone cold reliable.
There are IDE tape backups that are about as fast as the DAT tapes. The use a
QIC tape format. They seem to be pretty reliable also. Don't know about the
shelf life. My guess would be about the same as the older style QIC tapes. I
have a Conner 4gig EIDE tape backup unit that backs up about 30-33meg/minute,
which is a whole lot better than the floppy controller base tape units out
there. But I still backup my network's critcal computers with the DAT unit.
More expensive than EIDE, but certainly better supported and well proven
although the Conner 4gig EIDE tape units appear to be quite good, especially
for the price (About $400)

I've done that.  But how about non-Windows95 users?  That is what I am
