To: Mac users of Novell Networks Advanced Version 2.15 A friend is intending to connect up a couple of Macs to the above network but he has a few questions: 1. Can you store executable files as well as data on the network server? (I think he means a PC server) 2. Can you use all network printer spoolers? 3. Can you remote boot? 4. What software is best to support these functions? 5. What is the performance of the macs on the network like? (just in general terms) If anyone can help with these, it'd be appreciated greatly!

They can print to queues that you set up with NetWare for Macintosh which will provide print queueing for LaserWriters and ImageWriters (only). PCs can print to these queues too, but Macs can't print to regular NetWare queues. > 3. Can you remote boot? There's no provision for this. In general, NetWare for Macintosh has been very buggy, and although Novell came out with Mac VAP 1.1 about a month ago, many existing customers (including myself) still haven't received them. We've been running on the older VAPs and have had lots of problems. This has been going on for a year now. I'd recommend that you don't pay dime one until you see your dealer has ANW 2.15C and Mac VAP 1.1 in hand.
