We would like to know what RISC-based Unix platforms have Netware available
(now or early 1991), and what their performance is like.  The easiest way
(for me) to measure performance is to compare to a 25/33 MHz 386 Netware
server (faster, slower, much faster, much slower).  We would like to know
whether a medium-sized Unix box (say a MIPS 3000 or 6000) could do useful
work _and_ be a Novell server with reasonable performance for LAN clients.

We have considered PC-NFS, but for a large installation it gets quite 
expensive.  Quite a few big sites already have a fair amount of Novell
expertise already.

Any other suggestions would also be welcomed, but Netware looks like
the prime candidate currently ...
