Novell actually has reasonable documentation of their packet formats
as part of the "Novell API Refernce" manual set.  In particular, I
have a document called "Netware V2.1  Internetwork Packet exchange
Protocol (IPX) with Asyncronous Event Scheduler (AES)", which desribes
the basic packet headers and SAP packets.  Bacially, the packets are
Xerox XNS packets, with a weird encapsulation, and unofficial (relative
to xerox) magic numbers for protocol ids/etc.
