The following is excerpted from a Novell blurb on their new 3.11 release:

   NetWare v3.11 includes TCP/IP, a defacto standard protocol
   for fast, reliable interconnectivity between heterogeneous
   computing environments.  The TCP/IP transport support in
   NetWare v3.11 provides the following capabilities:

   -o-  IP tunneling of IPX packets, which allows NetWare
   subnetworks to be joined across a TCP/IP internetwork.  DOS,
   Windows and OS/2 NetWare clients can access NetWare servers
   across TCP/IP internetworks.

   -o-  Routing of IP packets across Ethernet, Token-Ring and
   Arcnet LAN adapters configured in the server to support
   TCP/IP.  This allows LAN WorkPlace and NetWare NFS
   workstations to access TCP/IP computer systems throughout a
   TCP/IP internetwork.

   -o-  Support for multiple industry-standard application
   program interfaces (APIs), which allow developers to write
   TCP/IP-fluent NLM server applications.  APIs supported
   include Berkeley 4.3 Socket Library, the AT&T UNIX System V
   Streams/TLI interface and the Sun Microsystems/NetWise
   Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface.
