Here is the situation:

We are running Netware 3.11, 20 user, for a couple of software-development
machines.  These are all PC-based machines.  We also have a Macintosh IIfx
that sits alone, mostly due to ignorance.

Here is the question:

What is involved in getting this thing on the network?  What type of hardware
do we need as far as an ethernet card, what brands are the ones to get/avoid?

What software is needed?  Is any of it included in Netware?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
