  3.           Section 3.9     Configuring HP ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS
  4.                           (D1812B) and HP ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS for
  5.                           NetWare (D1823A)
  6.  
  7.                Introduction
  8.  
  9.                     This section explains how to order PC hardware and
  10.                     software that will meet user needs for HP ARPA
  11.                     Services 2.1/MS-DOS in HP LAN Manager
  12.                     environments, in Novell NetWare environments and
  13.                     in standalone environments.
  14.  
  15.                     With HP ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS and HP ARPA
  16.                     Services 2.1/MS-DOS for NetWare, a PC running MS-
  17.                     DOS can communicate in a multi-vendor environment
  18.                     using the networking services defined by the
  19.                     Department of Defense Advanced Research Project
  20.                     Agency (ARPA) and Berkeley Software Distribution
  21.                     (BSD) UNIX(R)  system.  ARPA services, like UNIX,
  22.                     are defacto standards in the scientific and
  23.                     engineering communities and are becoming much more
  24.                     widespread in the commercial world.  Both of these
  25.                     products allow users to save money by leveraging
  26.                     their investments and sharing resources and also
  27.                     allows them to integrate DOS and UNIX systems.
  28.  
  29.  
  30.                     With HP ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS for NetWare, a PC
  31.                     running MS-DOS and NetWare can have all of the
  32.                     functionality mentioned above and will not have to
  33.                     reboot when moving between NetWare and HP ARPA
  34.                     Services.  These products support the DOS
  35.                     environment as well as the new Windows 3.0 and 3.1
  36.                     and HP NewWave 3.0 environments in all modes.  The
  37.                     NetIPC application program interface is supported
  38.                     by HP ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS.
  39.  
  40.                     HP ARPA 2.1 services are not supported on OS/2 at
  41.                     this time.
  42.  
  43.                Summary

  101.                                    provided which detail the process
  102.                                    for copying these discs onto 360KB
  103.                                    discs.
  104.                                    Note (2):  Existing HP LAN Manager
  105.                                    1.0 networks must be upgraded to HP
  106.                                    LAN Manager 1.1.
  107.  
  108.                     Memory
  109.  
  110.                          DOS Clients running HP ARPA Services 2.1 or
  111.                          HP ARPA Services 2.1 for NetWare only
  112.                          (standalone)
  113.  
  114.                          HP recommends that DOS clients have 640 KB of
  115.                          memory.  This allows users to load DOS, the
  116.                          networking software and to run most
  117.                          applications.  Less than 640 KB of memory
  118.                          will not leave enough memory for most popular
  119.                          applications.
  120.  
  121.                          DOS Clients running HP ARPA Services 2.1 or

  127.                          have a minimum of 640KB of memory.  The 640KB
  128.                          memory limit may be pressed when using
  129.                          certain applications (such as HP  NewWave
  130.                          Office applications and Advancelink with
  131.                          graphics).  Customers who want to run these
  132.  
  133.  
  134.                          kinds of large applications can do the
  135.                          following:
  136.  
  137.                               * use EMS memory
  138.  
  139.                               * use the Demand Load feature to make
  140.                               the HP ARPA Services 2.1 services
  141.                               transient.  (note:  The Demand Load
  142.                               feature is not supported in Windows 3.0
  143.                               enhanced mode).
  144.  
  145.                          For DOS clients with 1MB or more of memory,
  146.                          3rd party memory managers may be used to free
  147.                          even more conventional (0-640 KB) memory for
  148.                          applications.
