    TGV is the developer and manufacturer of MultiNet, and Novell is
currently a distributor of ours.

    In addition to the full TCP/IP suite, we have an NFS Server and
the ONLY NFS Client available for VAX/VMS as options what are sold
with MultiNet.	Our NFS products are not available through Novell, but
Novell sells their "LANservice NFS" (NFS Server only) which was
originally developed for EXOS but now runs over MultiNet.

    If you'd like more information or an evaluation copy give us a
call at 800-TGV-3440 / 408-427-4366.
