I realize that this isn't the most objective group of people to be asking this
question, but I'll ask it anyway.  We're in the process of upgrading our PC 
LAN here, and the question is should we go to 3+ OPEN(we're using 3+ Share now)
or bite the bullet and go to Netware 386.  I personally don't care which way
we go, but I would like to make an intelligent choice.  So it really boils down to this:

does LAN Manager(which is really the same as 3+ OPEN) have any obvious plusses
over Novell 386(or vice versa for that matter)?

A couple other questions:

1) is 386 Netware really as easy to gen as they say it is(doing a 2.15 SFT was
a real pain as I recall).

2) any experience with the ProComp disk controller, or recommendations for
other disk controllers?  For that matter any recommendations on PC servers?
