	We will supply you with Netware 2.1 5210 drivers if need be.  However
	you should be able to get 5210 drivers from Novell, as we have had
	it certfied by them (to the tune of $2500)!

	As an aside; what does Novell certification buy you?  Not much;
	it gaurentees that a board will run on a 6 workstation network,
	with only that board in the file server.  Novell certification does
	not include mix and match interoperabilty testing.  Be warned!!
