My understanding of the method is that the file server in the Novell Netware system also has TCP/IP implemented. A user's PC forms a connection using Netware to a server process in the machine that also runs the file server and that process permits a TCP/IP connection to be formed going to the desired destination. I do not know any of the details of the software or how one conveys the desired IP destination to the TCP/IP server. It may behave like TELNET piggybacking (where you log into a host and TELNET back out again, specifying where you want to go to the User Telnet). Vint Cerf
