At CeBIT in Germany, OXXI was showing the software they developed
for the Arcnet card. I think at the time it was a "technology preview"
NOT CURRENLY FOR SALE, etc., etc.   I think this is still the case.

I believe the CeBIT demos included networking with a PC server running
Novell netware. Anybody from Germany that was at CeBIT wants to comment?
The last InfoWorld commented that CBM is getting into "Personal Netware".
