sorry, but i was under the impression that Novell offered a card for their
file server (a micom interlan NP-600) that allowed for tcp-ip access from any
novell netware to a tcp-ip ethernet. i am under the impression that they
are running tcp-ip buried inside their own packets, and the file server 
is stripping them out and passing them to the NP600. i have seen this 
work for ethernet, and was under the impression that it worked for all the 
networking schemes that novell supported.
