Yes Netware can do it for you.  It requires Netware 386, version 3.11
and NFS support.  (The NFS support is an extra charge).  If you need
decent performance, having the NLM for Netware is the only way to go.
If only one or two machines will use NFS on the server at a time,
and performance isn't that important it might not be worth the cost.
