But last week we replaced the 2.2-server (an old 486 with 8Mb RAM and 200Mb volume space) with a nice Compaq Proliant 800 machine running NW 4.11. So far so good, and everybody is happy with this new machine, except for one thing: We're using Pegasus Mail (DOS, Win16 and Win32 versions) for our internal e-mail, and when a user on this 4.11 server tries to send a msg to a user on one of the 3.11 machines, PMail claims that that server could not be found. Same problem the other way round (sending mail from a 3.11 user to a 4.11 user). Strange, because even from within PMail itself (the DOS version) it's no problem to switch to one of the other servers. The necessary 'mailman' users are correctly defined, and if a user is attached to both or all 3 servers, PMail doesn't have a problem delivering the mail at all. Anyone any clues? All DOS/Win workstations use VLM 1.21, and all W95 users se the latest Client32 (with a little patch to circumvent the GPF in MPREXE.DLL when connecting to a 3.x server).

You can not use a server as a work LO> station to. With NW 4.x running under OS/2 you actually can. And it works surprisingly well, too. I'm working for a hotel software company, and in one situation we had the following problem: An NT 3.51 server also had to run 2 simple DOS tasks to interface between the property management system, the PABX and the computer that runs their keycard software. Somehow we couldn't get that server to behave in an orderly and stable manner, and our Win32 version of the interface software wasn't ready yet... So we replaced NT with OS/2 Warp 3 and NetWare 4.1, and let OS/2 take care of the 2 DOS tasks. This setup turned out to be surprisingly stable, and the network was much faster than with NT on the same server! Regards, Erik --- * Origin: May it be on this earth?

And David Cutler, one of the main designers of NT, used to be working for DEC and was an important developer of DEC's PDP/11 and VAX minicomputers and it's VMS operating system. NT's architecture looks more like VMS than like unix. Although the microkernel itself has a lot of unix similarities (preemptive multitasking, multi-threaded, anonymous and named pipes, shared memory, etc.)...
