Your guess is as good as anyone's.  In the mean time I understand there
are people on this net who are running a "packet driver" with Novell to
gain access to UNIX systems.

You might also want to checkout PVCS from Polytron Corp.
(800) 547-4000, (503) 645-1150.  They have a version set for release in
April for SCO XENIX.

I doubt it.

Portable Netware is a version that runs under UNIX.  NCR, PRIME and 
a few others have or are ready to release.

Hope this helps.  Good Luck!
