NetWare 5 will be released this summer. Beta 3 was made public about 10 days ago and can be ordered from any Novell office. NetWare 5 has several major changes and improvements over previous versions: 1. NetWare 5 has a Graphic User Interface 2. NetWare 5 is built around a "Virtual Java Machine" which allows for an easy way of running applications on a server. The VJM is faster than any other in the industry. 3. NetWare 5 offers a choice of using the IPX/SPX protocol or pure IP. This is important because Windows NT does NOT use pure IP. What is called "native IP" in Windows NT is "NetBIOS encapsulated IP" which makes it necessary to setup WINS servers and other additional items. The NT IP protocol is essentially no different than using NetWare 4.x IP/IPX gateway. 4. NetWare 5 comes bundled with Oracle 8, a fully featured Netscape (Novonyx) webserver and number of other goodies. 5. NetWare 5 supports "Orion", Novell's new clustering solution which allows a 16 server cluster, compared with Microsoft's two server solution. 6. Novell has already delivered on it's Directory Services Solution (NDS). NDS is available for Novell, NT and soon for Unix and IBM Operating Systems. Novell has also announced that it has started a strategic partnership with Intel developing 64-bit code for Intel's new line of processors due out in 1999. Compare this to a recent Gardner Group Study which finds that Windows NT v5 will not be ready for enterprise implementation until late in the year 2000. (That is not the release date, but the date that they consider the product sufficiently bug-free for implementation). e> We are also doing a research on the software we're going to use for e> our Enterprise Resource Planning.

I will greatly appreciate any information e> or reference you can give me to help me push this project forward. Both Oracle and SAP make an excellent product. I suggest you look at a demo version of NetWare 5, which comes bundled with Oracle. It might make the choice easier. -=David=- david@kraut.wnybbs.net TCP/IP Node from 0715GMT to 0900GMT at kraut.dyn.ml.org using Argus v3.154b ...

I don't think the problem is with the network side. Some software seems to have problem telling a stand-alone computer to dial an ISP if the connection isn't present when launched. I must admit I haven't found where the software can be told to initiate a connection if one isn't present, but I have seen it happen both ways. I don't think you need to change software; you simply need to find that magic setting.

Web Pages (use the latest 3.1 or Novonyx Fast Track) FTP, Telnet etc. The access disk is the same license disk as your NW 4.11 disk. ]\/[ike --- DBSMail V2.00c [6758B3FC] * Origin: QuickSilver * http://www.qwksilver.com (1:3609/60) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: F5I00002 Date: 05/13/98 From: ALEX DRAGUNOV Time: 10:27pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: H 㬥p !
