For a complete description (the best I've seen so far) of Novell's
communications protocols, see the 9/90 issue of NetWare Application
Notes, pp 25-82.  This is an article titled "NetWare Communications
Processes" written by Paul Turner, an engineer at Novell.  It includes
a complete discussion of IPX, RIP, SAP, and NCPs, and how they 
interoperate.  It is a good overview to read before you get into 
reference manuals for the various API function calls.

Reprints are available from the Novell AppNotes Hotline (801) 429-7550;
I think the cost for 1 reprint is $5, chargeable to your favorite
plastic.

Novell publishes "Research Notes" supposedly monthly, but the last
I've received is from September 1990.
