I am a technical assistant at the Raspet Flight Research Laboratory at
Mississippi State University.  I am trying to set up a system out there to
enhance our computing capabilities.

We have 6 PC's running under Dos, and one unix box running under 386/ix.
We will (hopefully) soon have an internet link and a 486/33 running as a
"domain server."

I would like to network all of them together so that they all have access to
the internet.  I would like to network the PC's together under novell, but
I have some questions about it.

Can I just hook the PC's together under novell with ethernet cards, then 
hook those to the unix boxes?  I would like to be able to use NCSA Telnet to
telnet to the unix boxes from the PC's.  I would also like to have limited
file sharing between the PC's.  By limited, I mean that certain files on
certain pc's shouldn't be accessable to the network.  Do I need a novell
server to accomplish this?

Any answers to these questions and any other insight you may want to give
me about novell will be greatly appreciated.  I am new to novell, and I would
like to get as much knowledge about it without reading manuals before commiting
myself to this project.  I would like to know what I am getting into first!

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
