I am thinking of buying a Sparcstation-1, but for local compatability
reasons I need to run a DOS-emulator.  I have seen the one the
Sparcstation runs and know that window-size is not changeable and that it
seems to run about as fact as an IBM PC/XT, but I don't know how well it
really works.  

1) Can anyone tell me something about how it runs MS-DOS
	applications (MS-WORD, EXCEL, MKS-Toolkit)?  

2) Does it use the Sparcstation's spooler?  

3) Would it connect with the Sparcstation's ethernet connection allowing 
	me to run Novell Netware in an MS-DOS window?

Any experience would be greatly appreciated.
