What you are asking for is peer to peer capability.  Something the plain
vanilla Novell LAN does not do, since it is a client server architecture.
LAN systems and Fresh Technology provide utilities that will allow for peer
to peer access of disks and printers in a Novell environment.  They operate
as TSRs so memory is used at the workstations, but they work.  Some of these
TSR peer to peer programs are not compatible with windows 3.0, so if your 
environment calls for windows you may need to look around a bit.
