You are going to have to deal with Novell on this one. I haven't
kept up with Netware for a while, but I believe Netware 386 has
(or is supposed to have) support for IP including dynamic IP
address assigment. That should get you FTP and Telnet. The mail
issue depends on what kind of mail you want to use. SMTP, CC-Mail,
etc.
