Here at Cornell we have a large ethernet spanning several buildings and
supporting several protocols - tcp/ip, decnet, possibly xns, and
who-knows-what else.  I would like to connect several IBM pcs running
Novell Netware via the same cable.  In theory, this shouldn't cause
any interference, but people here are a little paranoid.  So: has anyone
out there had any trouble with Novell sharing the ethernet with anything
else?  I'm not talking about intercommunication between Novell and the other,
just non-interference.

Please Email replies if possible; I'll summarize.
