        I have seen several documents which talk about using Novell Netware
    and TCP/IP on the same network card--but all of them are about Netware
    286.  We're using Netware 386.  Does anyone have any experience with
    this?  Do any programs use ODI?

Novell promised to develop a "Packet Driver MLID" at a conference this
summer, but I don't know when/if it will hit the streets. I am also
aware of efforts outside Novell to do "Netware over NDIS", but they
aren't in production.  There aren't many ODI drivers out yet, but
Leo announced that Wollongong had TCP/IP support for them some time
back.  The ODI spec itself isn't suitable for sharing an 802.5 interface
between TCP/IP and Netware, so there'll have to be another solution anyway...
