3275.0. "Novell IPX Support" by ODIXIE::HARRISKE (Triathlete) Tue Jun 30 1992 11:36

    I know this question has been asked already, but there were no answers.
    
    1. Does DEC have an Access Module that will manage Novell NETware LAN,
       that runs under the DECmcc/VMS (V1.1, or 1.2)?
    
    2.  Does DEC have an Access Module that will run under DECmcc/ULTRIX  
        V1.2, that will support a SynOtpics (UTP) Based, Token Ring Novell 
    	NETware (IPX) LAN?
    
    Any information would be helpful.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ken

3275.1	Help me to help you!	ANNECY::KIRKHAM	Pete Kirkham @AEO	`Wed Jul 01 1992 06:08`	7
	We here in Annecy have proposed this AM and I'm working with the NAS system mgt group (Poul Nielsen) to determine what functionality we need to offer and whether there's a business case for doing it. Any information which you can supply to help with one or the other would be appreciated. Pete
3275.2	More requests for Novell & IPX	MORO::MAUTZ_RI	Networks>=DECnet	`Wed Jul 01 1992 17:30`	8
	I do MCC Director demos on occassion (2-3 per month) and I would estimate the 50% or more of the customers that come in for the demos ask if we can do Novell IPX. The customer I had in yesterday said that his 3 primary protocols were DECnet, IP, and Novell IPX! Regards, Richard
3275.3	IPX AM Needed ASAP	ODIXIE::HARRISKE	Triathlete	`Tue Jul 07 1992 10:42`	10
	We need this AM ASAP!!! Greater than 50% of my customers have Novell (IPX) LAN's. Customers want to be able to manage these LAN's from DECmcc. I have lost sales because DEC cannot fulfill this need. Regards, Ken
3275.4	Can't win without it!!	OSLACT::BJORN_P	Woops, now I have to learn changing diper's	`Thu Jul 09 1992 05:02`	5
	In every customer case I'm involved in, there is a Novell IPX network. One of the first questions they ask me, is if we can manage the IPX network. As long as we can't handle this, we'll loose the opportunity to be one of the actors. Bj�rn Olav Haugom
3275.5	Agreed...	FRAIS::64917::SYSTEM	Information, that's all I need...	`Fri Jul 10 1992 07:54`	18
	Hi, it's the same with our customers. Novell has to be high priority. My ratings would be like DECnet SNMP SNA Novell These are the main protocols we HAVE to support. Regards Josch
3275.6	Need it now	TROOA::LEONG		`Thu Jul 16 1992 11:18`	8
	Ability to manange IPX has been one of the consistent request from my customers. I have one here in Toronto who has volunteered to call any person in Digital (if we would provide him with a name and phone number) to discuss this issue. Anyone want to talk with this customer ? Leslie Leong EIS, Toronto.
3275.7	there's opportunity here !!	CGOOA::KLIPPENSTEIN	Rob Klippenstein - Winterpeg MB. Canada	`Fri Oct 23 1992 10:07`	16
	-< Novell IPX Support - top priority >- Our major customer is the Provincial Telco. They have a Novell implementation of about 1500 nodes and desparately need a tool to manage them. We've risen to the challenge of SNA management and virually all their other requirements. This is a opportunity that we are on the verge of losing. I'm trying to be positive about this, but is there not enough of us out here to potentially band together and have this functionality developed. (after all we have the tool kits, Don't we ??) The DECmcc product set is great. Realizing that Novell has about 63% of the instal base for LANs, this is truly an untapped market ready for the taking. Rob K.
