Just a note on what we have done here over the last few month with our
DOS based waffle system.
 
We currently have several nodes running under Novell Lite, and Waffle
works fine if you follow the DOC's that come with it ie add the entries
to your static file, a static file for each node etc..
 
However I have gone a step further and increased the processing time for 
local logins by installing waffle on each node as well as the main comms
server (this node). This is a simple process and have done the following
 
 Node                  Files                           Common on Server
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 1                      run1.bat                       
                        static1
                        all the waffle /directories    
                                                      password/files/news
 2                      run2.bat
                        static2
                        all the waffle /directories
                                                      password/files/news
 3 onwards ditto
 
 In the run.bats I have included the line normaly in the autoexec.bat
 set waffle=c:\waffle\static1 (or whatever the node number is).
 
 In the static files I have pathed then local bar password,news and files
 the server node has the spool dir to itself.
 
 This also allows you to rename your organ: line to identify the 
 node people are using as well, ie this node says I am on the 
 Cserver (the dedicated uucp node) while the others refer to local
 logins ..
 
 
 Not only has this increased the processing time but I have found no
 slow down even at v32bis local and uucp connects. However when I ran
 the same version of waffle with multiple static files I found that the
 uucp connects to me were down by over 200cps because of the network
 delays.
 
 I hope this helps someone out there.
