Those were some of the options I considered.

However, Netware offers more than LAN i.e. Wide area networking (X.25 etc..)
Also Novell offers non-dcom products (such as Data base servers etc..)
making DCOM subgroup inappropriate

Overall Netware as a system offers a platform with networking and communication,
Mail handling, multiple protocol stacks, hardware independence, data base etc..
and a SYS group sounded more appropriate than a PROTOCOLS or LAN or DCOM group.
