We are very interested in gatewaying our Novell PC networks to a
TCP/IP Ethernet.

One unique approach to this problem would be using a PC as a
level-3 gateway between the Novell IPX net and the IP Ethernet.
Client programs (such as NCSA telnet, Phil Karn's NET package, X
windows programs, etc.) would be modified to encapsulate the IP
packets in IPX packets.  The gateway would catch the IPX packets
from the clients, strip the IPX headers, and send them out over
the Ethernet.

I would greatly appreciate information on any current or planned
development efforts in this area.

Thanks,

Dave Hoisve.
