We finally got the upgrade (4 days ago) for Netware for Macs. Before that we had a number of problems, including relatively frequent bombs on the macs, the file server going off into the ozone during the night, and failure to get Novell AppleTalk queues published properly on AppleTalk. The last is not critical for the Macs because they can see the printers directly, but it would still be nice to have it work as advertized. Furthermore, we got VAP (or something) corruption every month or so and had to reinstall the Mac VAPs. Since installing the new version, everything seems to be running smoothly. I don't think anybody has tried getting the Novell AppleTalk queues running, but that's not a priority item. [Mild flames on] Maybe a supporting dealer could have helped us earlier, but we're currently trying a 4th dealer in the hope that they might be of help. The dealers have all been friendly enough, but I have so far always ended up having to figure out and fix the problem myself, so I'm about ready to go for Netware from the cheap places that don't claim support since at least then I'll know what to expect. [Flames off] Anyway, it's probably too soon to conclude that the new release has solved all our problems, but things appear to be good. -Stefan Brandle -- ---------------------------------------------- MA Bell: (708) 260-5019 --------- Stefan Brandle UUCP: ...!{obdient,uunet!tellab5}!wheaton!stefan Wheaton College or stefan@wheaton.UUCP Wheaton, IL 60187 "But I never claimed to be sane!"
