NetWare TCP/IP implementations are available from Excelan, Micom-InterLAN,
and the Wollongong group (no specific ordering intended).  Novell does not
itself distribute TCP/IP.  The reason for the confusion was that Novell
WAS investigating the possibility of distributing a TCP/IP implementation,
but decided to drop it.

TCP/IP is available either as a gateway implementation (IPX/SPX on one side
of the gateway, TCP/IP on the other) or with each workstation using both
protocols simultaneously.  Novell fully supports and encourages both types
of implementation under its Open Protocol Technology (OPT) strategy.  (How's
that for a marketing statement?)

I'd give you phone numbers for the companies, but I don't have them handy.
