assistant: Hi Simon!
Yes... NE2000.COM is the Network Adapter and is Called after LSL!
Yip!
No..No..no..No.
The first line 'Link driver LSL' is Wrong!  It should read 'Link Driver
Ne2000'
you can either omit that line from the net.cfg or Change the interrupt to
a free interrupt on your system, try maybe 11 or 10!
The main reason that it failed was the NET.CFG file was wrong and maybe you
have some other device using int 5.
You know plenty about networks???
Anyway...Here's how it should look!
==START STARTNET.BAT==
CD \NETWORK
LSL.COM
NE2000.COM
IPXODI.COM
NETX.EXE (or VLM.EXE)
==END STARTNET.BAT==
==START NET.CFG==
Link Driver NE2000
    Frame Ethernet_802.3
    Frame Ethernet_II
    Frame Ethernet_802.2
         INT {Whatever}
         PORT {Usually 300 or there abouts}
==END NET.CFG==

This is my first post here, greetings, and these are my first questions too.
I need to connect 2 users via modem to my 4.1 net. I have been searching for
information about that in the handbooks, but I haven't found anything. I know
how to use Rconsole, but what I need is to connect "regular" users.
The configuration utility lets me configure the remote connection option, but
it tells me that Aconsole is needed at the client side. Where is Aconsole?. I
don't find it in the CD !.
One more thing: is it possible to place two modems in the same server?.
See you,
Jose Maria Gallardo.

INT 0 is System Timer

INT 2 is Cascade -> INT 9

INT 5 NOW Network Card
Don't suppose you know what INT 2 is actually used for ???

Yea using Novell Netware, OS/2, Windows 95, Win 3.1 & 11Windows NT, it's just
the addressing (IP and Ethernet) and connection using other that the software
supplied with the cards ;)

Write your reply.

assistant: RCONSOLE and the ACONSOLE you mention are both for administrative access
to the server console, and won't suit your needs. What you are looking
for is remote control of a network node OR remote node access.
Remote node access is provided through add-on or third-party products in
the NetWare 4.1 environment. Novell offers NetWare Connect, which runs
on a server and allows dial-in, remote node connections.
Remote control is a more popular approach, where users dial-in and take
control of a workstation existing on the network. This method is
typically faster, and has less risk to the server. Examples of this
would include PCAnywhere.
Remote control can be more expensive than remote node if the remote
users must dial-in while all of the existing workstations are in use,
because you would need new computers. If, however, the dial-in will
occur when computers are available (nights, for instance), remote
control software is cheaper than remote node software.
Hope that helps.

Write your reply.

assistant: That's true...but if the card is configured with jumpers, and if the driver
will accept other IRQ values, you can actually 'reconfigure' the card with a
knife, a piece of wire and a soldering iron. A bit extreme perhaps, but
sometimes there's just not enough free IRQs.
(Its really IRQs (hardware interrupts), not INTs (software).)
The original PC/XT only had 8 interrupt lines. The second interrupt
controller that handles IRQs 8 to 15 on ATs and above is connected to IRQ2 on
the first controller. The pin on the ISA bus that used to be IRQ2 on XTs is
now IRQ9.
IOW, you can jumper the card to use IRQ2 and set the driver to IRQ9 in
NET.CFG.
You can easily tell a NE2000 from a NE1000. The NE1000 is an 8-bit card,
meaning that it only has the larger of the two connectors that plugs into the
ISA bus.

More confusion has arisen....apparently the Searchlight BBS software in use
where I post uses the backslash character as a control code for colors and
other functions.  Therefore it "eats" backslashes at times and does not pass
them on.  Hence, the original message may have had the two backslashes as
required, but I only got to see one of them when it passed through
Searchlight.  Similarly, my reply, in which I typed TWO backslashes, may have
reached you with only one...or none.

Am Donnerstag November 27 1997 um 00:00, referierte ein gewisser Walter
Schulz in einer Nachricht an Georg Eichinger zum Thema: "NetWare 3.12 and
ManageWise 2.1"
Thank you for your information that it should work on NetWare 3.12.
I have also applied all Patches available for MW 2.1.  And I forgot the
IPX65b Patch for NLSP-Routing that we have activated.
The only Produkt running besides MW 2.1  ist Timelan  from Tobit.
Cachebuffers are between 60% and 70% which should not be the problem.
User alloc short term memory is about 2,5 MB  from a configured size of 8,5
MB.
There are also messages on the console that an allocation for short term
memory has failed.
In the Netxplor console  are the following statistics:
    NetXploer   in starting process   (about 40 minutes, then it is down)
    NXPIP       counts up until 2   (is active about 1 hour)
    NXPIPX      Counts up until 1   (also active about one hour)
    NXPLANZ     in starting process till it is down but behaviour of the
system
                does not change when it is deactivated.
After about one hour you cannot reach the server via rconsole or attach, but
you can work at the server console.  We have installed cron to reboot the
server every 90 minutes at the moment.
Hope that was Information enough for the moment.
Our next steps will be to try out our configuration on a new hardware (in the
Moment we have a 486 dx2 50  with ISA board)  and on a  IntranetWare 4.11
server.
