We have a tiny TCP/IP and Novell network both running at the same time with no special software. Hooked to this network is an Apple Macintosh running Mac/TCP and AppleShare, a unix machine running TCP/IP, a couple DOS machines running Novell IPX and an OS/2 machine running PC/TCP for OS/2 and Novell Netware for OS/2. Everything works fine, except the OS/2 machine has to have two network adapters because there is no Clarkson packet driver for OS/2 (FTP PC/TCP uses an NDIS driver which is compatible with 3Com and Microsoft's networking product, but not Novell).
