There was a mailing on the listserv group recently that would answer your
question.  I'll include it and ask again if listserv can be channeled into
this group permanently.....

Hello All,

Today, I got the following announcements from Novells Account Manager:
'Netware 2.20 will ship somewhere in the first quarter of 1991'.

The TCP/IP product manager told me the following:
'The TCP/IP NLM will NOT be released by the end of this year. However, the
product is nearly finished, and we DO want to sell it. It will probably be
released in the first half of 1991'.

This TCP/IP NLm will offer the following functionalities:
1. It will make the Netware server act as an  NFS SERVER using TCP/IP protocols
(no NFs client software announced yet!)
2. It will allow the 'encapsulation' (Novell calls it 'tunnelling') of IPX
packets in TCP/IP packets for routing throug TCP/IP internets.


Greetings, Bruno
