I'll leave out the dirt, my comments and observations might be perceived
as biased... so I'll just clarify the facts of the press releases in this 
regard.

NetWare v3.11 includes TCP/IP support in terms of transport and network
protocols for the server only.  The TCP/IP NLM supports IP routing and 
SNMP.  There is also a LAN driver, called IPTUNNEL.LAN, that encapsulates
IPX within UDP/IP packets.

Upper layer services, including NFS server, FTP daemon and Line Printer
daemon are in an optional package called NetWare NFS.  NetWare NFS installs
on the v3.11 server and offers NetWare file and print services to Unix
(and other TCP/IP equipped) clients.

A new version of LAN WorkPlace for DOS was announced that provides TCP/IP
transport and upper layer services for DOS and Windows-based NetWare
clients using common ethernet, arcnet and token-ring LAN adapters.  I've
sent an expanded version of the LAN WorkPlace for DOS press release to the 
moderator of comp.newprod.  It should be visible shortly.

I noticed you are with a school.  There are rather substantial educational
discounts available.
