A forum to discuss technical and non-technical issues specific to the Novell's Netware family of Local Area and Wide Area Networking products. These include Netware286, Netware386, Portable Netware, Communication products, Database products, Excelan LAN WorkPlace family (TCP/IP) etc. etc. The creation of this forum will allow the Novell Netware enthusiasts at USENET their own forum to discuss items of a non-technical nature (how to use software packages, what networking card to buy, etc) and items of a technical nature (what's wrong with this code?, how do I use this toolkit call?, etc.), thus reducing the amount of time spent sorting through multiple groups on protocols, lans, ibmpc, tcp-ip.
