I've said this a number of times on comp.dcom.lans, but I'm not sure 
I've said it here.  If your not wedded to Novell, take a hard look at
Locus Computing's PC-Interface.  It's cheap (the server is free with
some unix versions) and it does provide _very_ clean integration between
the MS-Dos and unix file systems, print handling, terminal emulation,
etc.
