We've got a number of Novell servers scattered around campus.  (They're
generic '286 and '386 boxes running SFT 2.10 thru 2.15).  We also have
extensive fiber being installed as a campus backbone running at 80 Mbit
using Proteons hardware.  (ProNET-80).  The supported protocol on this
network is IP.

How can we use this fiber backbone to connect our Novell servers in
a server-to-server fashion?  (Note, terminal-to-server isn't the question.)

Can server-to-server be done today over IP in the Novell world?  If not,
does Proteon sell an interface that supports IPX?  Are there other
ideas?
