In the here and now you will probably need to tie several things together to
achieve what you want.

Using Netware v2.15 w/ the Packet Driver shell gen program from BYU,
NCSA Telnet with the Packet Driver option and CC:Mail with the SMTP
gateway, you just might be able to do what you are trying to do.  I
currently am using NCSA Telnet and the BYU shell gen program to run
Novell and TCP/IP (Telnet and FTP) just fine on 3c501s and WD8003e.
The packet drivers I have seen include 3c503, NI5010, NI5210, and
others, but I have not used them personally.  As far as the CC:Mail
and SMTP gateway goes, I still have not brought all the pieces together
to try it.

In the future I hope to see SMTP support in Netware 386 which will have the
ability to run on top of TCP/IP.  I think there will have to be some time
for development of the TCP/IP drivers for the workstation shells and many
of the features we want, but the platform looks very promising.
