Novell is marketing such a product. Even though there seems to be an
implantation running under Netware 286 v2.0a, the only commercially available
implementation seems to be running under SFT Netware 286 v2.1 (Part No 
02-005-01).
The physical link is on the server and enables up to 16 workstations to
connect simultaneously to the TCP world. The kit includes an NP600A Ethernet 
controller, the gateway software and the documentation. There is also a short
pamphlet describing the Netware TCP/IP option (document 420-010270-001 June 87).
I haven't got any chance yet to try this gateway, so I cannot give any 
information on speed or reliability.

Another commercial source is ISOLAN (BICC data networks). They sell an ISOLAN
multi-protocol IEEE 802.3 ethernet support for the PC. It allows you to connect
your PC to a Novell server and to the TCP world simultaneously. This is not a
real gateway (as far as I can tell). The ISOLAN controller with multi-protocol 
handler sofware is Part No 4113-0, the Novell drivers are Part No 4116-x 
(x depends on what version of Netware your server is running).

Hope this helps,

Bertrand Ibrahim.
