I'm running Novell 386.  I'm wondering if the file server can access the
hard drives of the local terminals connected to it?  

It would be a really neat idea if all the machines that intend to use the Novell
Server would remain logged in indefinitely, and that the server could use the 
disks of such machines as either swap space, backup space, or general storage 
space for individual user directories.

Has anyone heard of such a thing?  Thanks for any response, in advance.
