Helo Netters,
Sorry about lack of my internet resources.
nodeid is available from
   ftp.upe.ac.za
under /pub/msdos/nodeid
both the source and binary is available.

Some comments.  Thanks for the email.
nodeid will work if no netx/vlm is loaded.  0's will be returned
as an invalid DOS subfunction call should return invalid info.
No checking for IPX is necessary.

Yes, to use USERLIST/A is a valid comment.  This program
we have on f:\login or f:login when the network shell fires up, and under
the public subdirectory.
Just type nodeid and you have the answer, no having to take the
user through a login and through a few menus, which is typically
the case with a virtually computer illiterate enduser 3km away on
the telephone.

Erk!  ftp.sun.ac.za is FULL.  No uploads allowed :-(
Regards
Daryl

>>I am sorry but I have as yet no Anon FTP site to dump the executable. 
>>You will have to request it via email.

>>Comments would be appreciated, especially those in a Netware 4.X

>Wouldn't mind having the .EXE at all. You can also try and upload it to FTP.
>SUN.AC.ZA. 

>Nice to see some other folks who are using the ODI drivers for Novell.
