Just to fill in the details, the IP routing support is in NetWare v3.11. We can route IP between Ethernet, Token Ring and Arcnet. We also support subnet routing. The Appletalk stack also supports AT routing between various interfaces including Ethernet and Token Ring. I understand support for the Farralon PC LocalTalk boards is also on the list of todos for AT. > This includes everything but >IEEE 802.3, (Ethernet II is the top choice of Novell and IP LANS, so >this is a moot point). Actually, the ODI does support "raw" IEEE 802.3 encapsulation for IPX. None of the other protocols we now support in NetWare v3.11 use it though (unless you count the 802.2 support that's internal to the ODI). Or TCP/IP protocols can run over Ethernet II or Ethernet SNAP encapsulations on Ethernet networks, but as Michael points out, IP is normally to be found using Ethernet II encapsulation on tha vast majority of Ethernets today (Etype field = 0x0800). > >If you want anything more specific, then it will cost you $10K and >require you to spend a wonderful three days in Provo, Utah.
