┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░ Using Terminate with Novell Netware Connect ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
While the PC Bios Interrupt 14 supports only speeds up to 9600 baud,
the NWC Interrupt 14 supports much higher speeds. Terminate is 100% PC
Bios 100% compatible so it will only support 9600 baud.
Therefore, Terminate will think that the speed is 9600 baud even though
you're connected at a much faster rate. Don't let the statusbar fool
you :-)
Although you CAN the NWC Interrupt 14 to work with Terminate, you are
likely to have some problems with hanging up and detecting a connect.
These problems should be eliminated in the next version of Terminate.
The first thing to do is to create a new device in Terminate:
At the main-screen press ALT-O and choose Communcation setup. There you
choose a device which is not used and set the following:
Serial interface = Interrupt 14h
Comport = (A free com-port)
Device Name = Netware Connect
Baudrate = 9600 (doesn't matter)
Then press ESC to return to the previus menu, where you press space if
you wan't Netware Connect to be your default port. Press ESC twice to
exit Terminate.
Contact your system administrator to obtain the following information:
- the name of the server where the NWC resides
- the name of the group of modems you can use and
- the path to the NWC-programs (NASI and NINT14).
You will also have to ask him to give you access to use the modems.
According to this information, add the directory for the NWC-programs
in the PATH statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and reboot the computer.
Create a batch file (easier than always using the command line) which
automaticly gets a NASI-connection and creates an INT-14 interface to
Terminate.
Here is a sample batchfile to load NASI, Novell INT 14 before launching
Terminate and unloading the drivers after exiting Terminate.
----- NASITERM.BAT -----
@ECHO OFF
REM Don't echo commands on screen
REM Load the NASI-interface and prompt you for a username
lh NASI
REM Load the interrupt 14 interface
REM /Ncorp1 'corp1' is the name of the server where NWC resides
REM /Gpool1 'pool1' is the name of the modem-group you use.
REM /C2 '2' is the comport number (the free one you have chosen
REM in Terminate).
REM /I Ignore commands from Terminate (to allow higher speeds
REM than 9600 baud).
lh NINT14 /Ncorp1 /Gpool1 /C2 /I
REM Load Terminate
TERMINAT
REM Unload the interrupt 14 interface.
NINT14 /U
REM Unload the NASI-interface.
NASI /U
REM Finished.
----- NASITERM.BAT -----
NASITERM has a significant drawback: If NINT14 fails to load, Terminate
acts strange. As NINT14 doesn't return an errorlevel, you'll have to
notice yourself if the driver has not been loaded and maybe ask if
Terminate should be launched. But DOS doesn't offer that utility, so
you'll have to find one yourself.
The same procedure should be followed under OS/2. With newer versions
of the Netware Requester you'll have to load NINT14 under a boot-image
of a DOS-disk. Novell has released a preconfigured image-file for use
under OS/2 on Netwire.
