I have a need to run Novell with NDIS drivers (Lan Support Program V1.2)
on Ethernet. The actual reason is to allow Novell to coexist with IBM's
PC/3270 on the same PC. How does one do it?

Being quite ignorant in Novell issues, I tried to configure Novell to
make it believe it works with a Token Ring adapter. I booted the machine
with Lan Support Program drivers, and ran IPX. I can see that IPX accessed
the Lan Support Program, but NET3 says that it can't find a server. Needless
to say, a server does exist on the segment (and is accessible when I run
IPX configured for the WD8003E card).

I must be doing something wrong here. So:

1. Can this be done at all? That is, can Novell work via an NDIS interface?
2. If (1) above is affirmative, how do I configure the Novell workstation
   to do this?

Alternatively, I thought I could install the FTP Software NDIS-Packet
convertor, and then run Novell with the packet driver interface. This
is less desirable (since I guess I won't be able to run yet another application
- like Clarkson's TN3270 - over the same driver), but can be used as a last
resort. So here comes next question:

3. How do I configure Novell to use a Packet Driver? I believe I should
obtain some driver from Clarkson or BYU - what and which one?

Thanks for any info - happy new year
