Hi, I need an advice from NOVELL users regarding LAN card.

I am helping a friend to set up a network using NOVELL ELS II on 386 machine
as a server and 5 work stations. 

I am new to NOVELL networking. I have asked several computer stores and there
are several different suggestions which LAN card to use.

I was wondering if you can give some advice on:

1. Which LAN card to use ?

   o Ethernet card from NOVELL, ARC or Artosoft ?

     or

   o the Lan card using the HUB and Arcnet ?


2. How difficult it is to set up/install NOVELL network.



Thank you very much for you advice and help/info.
