This is indeed possible.  Simply find a UNIX box which supports Portable
Netware.  I know that there is a third party implementation of this for
HP-UX available from Canada.  I heard that the SCO version of portable
netware was delayed because Novell broke the agreement when they
realised that it would impact sales of their Netware/386.
