We have a novell network and some UNIX boxes, and we want to be able
to telnet (and other things) from the PCs to the UNIX machines.  We
are about to switch to using a Novell "shell" (IPX.COM) which was
generated to use the Packet drivers, thanks to the stuff from BYU.
We have been able to load ipx, then telnet or ka9q without rebooting
in between, and we are quite happy with the setup.

The thing that worries us is, will we be able to use this packet
driver shell with Microsoft windows?  I gather that it is rather
difficult to make Windows and Novell coexist.
