- Subject: How big is big? (PC lan, MS Windows, 500 users?) (Q)
-
-
- Pardon a possibly dumb question; I've been reading for a while and this
- appears the place to ask: is a 500-PC lan running word processing (MS
- Word for Windows, probably) within the currently reliable state of the art?
-
- [Or are the people I work with being set up for a big fall ...?]

- Subject: Connecting and IBM9121 to the network (Q)
-
- Hi,
-
- I need to connect an IBM 9121-320 running native MVS/ESA to a TCP/IP
- network. A segment of the network is actually X.25 and TCP/IP being
- encapsulated over it, so I can also look into solutions that might
- use X.25.
-
- Some facts (??) I've gathered asking around: TCP/IP on an MVS system
- is very slow and resource consuming. One solution is running also
- MPSI (X.25 for MVS?) and a 3745 Comm. Cont. connecting to an X.25
- switch.
-
- Another is using a 3172 LAN Adapter and connecting to a multiprotocol
- router using token ring or ethernet.
-
- As you can see both solutions are basically IBM solutions.
-
- Does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe using some 3rd party products?
- I'll appreciate any suggestions.
-
- Thanks.

- Subject: We have many classrooms for computer educations.
-
- We have many classrooms for computer educations.
- Many students studying about computer can use them as a tool for a
- research and study.
- There are about 130 workstations and 170 lap-top computers and 41 per-
- sonal computers in our two campus.(last pc is used for CAD(computer
- aided design))
- All machines are connected by coaxical cable to mainframe.
- Then all machines have two functions, one is online-function as using
- mainframe, other is offline function that means they use an independen
- ce function of personal computer (stand-alone function).
- So all students even use only a function of personal computer keep to
- connect to mainframe.Because we identify user-id and password by main-
- frame.I always think our computer environment make mainframe very very
- busy.So we want to make another type of classroom, at next time to
- make new classrooms we will intoroduce NETWARE for identifing users
- want to use only a stand-alone function.
- But someone teach me that one sever machine installed NENETWARE can't
- manage over 250 users at once. So I suppose we should have several
- servers.On the other hand, in this case if servers don't join hands
- with others, some user can connect to plural server machines at once.
- Because they don't know he have always connected to other machines.
-
- How do we manage such a case ?
- We will have to set up main-server machine for each servers,won't we.
-
- Finally why I am particular about connection at once is that we want
- to use this system to submit reprots or answers of students, so they
- might submit two reports or answers to different server machines.
- Then this case might make us confuse ||
- Do you understand my question ?
-
- Please tell me a good way to use NETWARE.
-
- At last I'm not good at write in English,so perhaps there are many
- mistakes. Please teach about my mistake |

-
- For example:at above case, user1(u1) can also connect to server1 and
- server2. So he can submit his reports into server1 and se
- ver2. Because server1 and server2 don't know he has
- already submitted to another server.
- We will be confused||
- Can we set up main-server for server1 - server3 and can
- main-server manage each servers ?
- Do you understand I would like to mean and my question ?

- Subject: LAN 'wellness'
-
- I'm working on LAN strategies and guidelines and would be interested in
- hearing what metrics people are using to determine the 'wellness' of their
- LAN(s). Do you go by utilization? Response? Latency? Other?

- At our site we will be wiring a new office area with about 600 drops of
- level 5 UTP. We will be primarily using the cable for 10baseT and
- 16Mb/s Token Ring. Current estimates show at most 80% of the drops will
- be in use.
-
- What sort of patch panel/block is recommended? Should we build a patch
- panel of RJ11 jacks and jumper everything or use a punch block and run
- twisted cross-connects?
-
- We would like to leave the door open for CDDI in the future.
