However if you read the first quoted line, the question seems to be "Can I make my unix machine a CLIENT on a Novell network?". I also have a number of personal unix workstations that would like to have access to the Novell network and it's resources. The Unix machines are a minor portion of a 500 node PC based LAN. Politics and common sense say to make the unix workstations clients rather than servers for print services, etc. Is there a way to do this? Has anyone managed it to date? The technology is there. Most of the software has already been written. With unix running on 386/486 machines and "dos under unix" products in such common use, can it be long before the PC based unix systems can access the resources available on the Novell based LANs? Inquiring minds want to know! --Jay -- Jay Curtis jcurtis@simasd.UUCP {nosc;ncr-sd;ucsd;}!simasd!jcurtis Of course my opinions are my own... Who would let me speak for them?!
