Last week I got a look at a DG Aviion system running portable Netware.
Personally I was pretty impressed.  Everything was just like a regular 2.15
system on a PC.  With the new DG AOS 4.30 the PC's will be able to run a 
terminal emulation program and telenet onto the unix side, while still 
running a PC IPX/SPX session.  They, the DG people, say that it's not 
possible to run a DOS emulator in a unix session to hook into the netware. 
Ideally it would be nice to take advantage of something like that.  Although 
they said w/ the proper security either side could access each others files.

To my knowledge no other vendors have released portable netware, does 
anyone know otherwise?  Anyone have any comments.  One thing I was interested 
in doing was to somehow let the unix people take advantage of a Novell SNA
gateway.  The DG people suggested putting in a one of their gateways, oh well.
