You'll need the newest version of netware (2.15 I think).  If you already have
2.0 but not the Mac stuff I think the upgrade is free.

Youu will need an AppleTalk board for your server, I know Novell supports
the Apple brand card,  I think they support the TOPs board and a few others,
including a microchannel board.

Your server card will need a connector (PhoneNet or LocalTalk) usually
the PC cards have the 9 pin 'D' connector.  You'll need an 8 pin mini-
DIN PhoneNet or LocalTalk connector for you IIGS serial port, too.  The
GS comes with the AppleSharee client software in the form of the AppleShare
FST.

I don't know if it actually works because I haven't tested it, but if it
follows the AFP 2.0 rules, it should.
