I think your questions are best answered by pointing out that NetWare
386 LAN drivers are used for protocols other than NetWare's IPX.

I'm going to diplomatically dodge your last question, since i don't
really know the answer.  Novell's IPX development group thinks IPX has
an 802.2 SAP (hex E0), but personally i find that hard to believe.
