Although the two operating systems are basically incompatible, you can set
up a workstation which will talk to and be logged in on both.  The workstation
needs to have 2 network boards in it, configured for different interrupts and
memory addresses.  Configure the drivers for each net os to the different
interrupts.  For instance if you have an Enet card set for int 4 and one for 
int 5, configure the IPX file for int 4, and the xns enet.sys driver for
int 5.  Load the XNS drivers and login to XNS first, then load ipx and
net3 and login to Netware.  your netware drives will start ABOVE the last
XNS drive.

I have set this up to work both with XNS and with 3com 3+.
