Novell has an async bridge facility avaialable.  This is available in 2
forms: A server version and a workstation.  Novell (and I!) recommend 
not running this on a server and instead dedicate a PC to the bridging
function.  From there, you simply hook your modem up to the PC and
away you go.  56kb might be rough without a smart I/O coprocessor but
definitely doable.
